People unfamiliar with him might initially dismiss him as uninteresting. His lithe frame is so thin, one wonders if a strong wind could whisk him away. Freckles pepper his face and body, raising questions about the need for a dermatologist. His mouth, some might say, stretches too wide for his face, teetering between handsome and awkward. And when he smiles, the gap between his front teeth, a diastema, becomes impossible to miss. Yet, all these seemingly “uninteresting” features combine to create one of the funniest and most popular international comedians of our generation.
Born Bofelo William Molebatsi, this 28-year old Botswanan has crafted a brand of comedy that transcends race, language, social status, and age. He brings laughter, the “medicine of the mind and body,” that reduces even the most serious-minded to uncontrollable howls.
Chris Brown, the American RnB star, had to acknowledge William’s comedic take on one of his songs in a post as controversial as it was funny, solidifying the Botwana native’s international reach.

His Background
Known to fans as “Mawilla,” William Last wasn’t particularly known before his explosion onto the international comedy scene. He was just another kid from Botswana navigating life’s struggles, similar to many Africans. Academic challenges plagued him, and he often felt disconnected from his peers’ daily routines. However, he possessed a comedic mind that defied convention and an uncanny ability to make people laugh.
William is a proud father, showering his daughter with love and frequently mentioning her. His baby mama/wife, however, prefers to stay out of the limelight. We also know of his brother, who shares his diastema and comedic talent.
William’s life took a dramatic turn when he borrowed a camera from a friend to film a skit. He uploaded the skit to Facebook, where it went viral and garnered positive reviews. This success fueled his passion for creating comedic content, and he hasn’t looked back since.
William Last: The New School Mr Bean?
Many consider William the successor to the legendary Mr. Bean, played by Rowan Atkinson. Both comedians rely heavily on elaborate actions and facial expressions, with minimal dialogue. William’s act boasts unique trademarks like his goofy, wide-mouthed grin showcasing his gap-teeth, his uncanny ability to pick his nose at the most unexpected moments, and his hilariously futile attempts to tame his eyebrows with a wet finger. His humor emerges from these silly yet relatable human actions, woven into original sketches, parodies, and even advertisements.
William leverages the power of social media to spread his comedy, garnering attention through YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram channels.
William’s Musical Success
Aside Comedy, William Last also possesses a musical side, showcasing his rapping skills with hits like “Haaikhona Man,” “Peka Peka” (a comedic zombie-themed song inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”), and “Motsetserepa.” Most of his songs, while intended to make people laugh and have a good time, are steeped in comedic content. However, songs like “A Song for Papa” reveal the poetic and sentimental side of his songwriting skills.
In Conclusion
Africans, known for their love of comedy and laughter, take immense pride in William’s ability to transcend boundaries of race, age, gender, and social class. The future holds boundless possibilities for William, with the sky as his only limit.
