Comic joins the panels on June 16

Munya Chawawa is to make his debut on Have I Got News For You next month.

The comic will be on the panel of the last episode of the current, 65th, series, which airs on BBC One on Friday June 16.

The British-Zimbabwean comedian first rose to prominence via the satirical videos he makes online and has previously been a Taskmaster contestant, played the future King Charles in Channel 4’s Prince Andrew: The Musical, and made the documentary How to Survive a Dictator.

Chawawa’s episode will be hosted by BBC newsreader & Mastermind presenter Clive Myrie, guest hosting for the third time. Journalist Helen Lewis will be the other panelist alongside Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.
