Like all comedians, I started my career in entertainment at a young age; I was determined to spend my life dedicated to bringing joy to audiences. So I won’t bore you with all the details of my quest, but lets start in the year 2000. I was performing in the Drakensberg for the Millennium New Year party, and I was as loving the performance, on the shows program for that evening was a stand up comedian, and I just loved what he did, I remember staring at this guy and thinking, now that’s performing!” He had written, directed and prepared his show himself with absolutely no credits, this guy was cracking a room of 400 people up, he had them falling in the isles and begging for more. By the time his performance was completed the room was standing! It was to be the biggest and longest ovation I would ever see.
