In South Sudan, a comedy group known as 'Itchy Itchy' provides much-needed laughter and relief for the population still haunted by the long-lasting effects of civil war, even as the country gradually moves towards stability. The comedian 'Ateng' shares his past experience as a child soldier and how humor has become a survival mechanism for him and his fellow comedians. While facing challenges and poverty with a GDP of around $400-$500 per person, the comedy performances offer a temporary escape from hardships and a source of joy for the audience, as they navigate the complexities of post-war life in South Sudan.
