Summary

MC | Comedian | Voice Over Artist | Writer

Since entering the scene in 2016, I have worked on and honed my my skills, as a comedian and MC. My clean, witty, sometimes observational, at times self-deprecating brand of comedy has opened the door for me to perform alongside some of the best in our industry.

In 2017 and 2018, I made it to the finals of the ever hotly contested Comikaze “Last Comic Standing” competition hosted by the prestigious, Parker’s Comedy Club.

This lead me to voiceover work and a stint on Hillbrow Radio in 2018, where I hosted my own show, centered around entertainment and pop-culture.

At the time, the show had the highest listenership for the fledgling online station.

I was a resident comic at Young Rebels Studio in Randburg from 2019 up until my move to Cape Town in June 2023.

I freelance as an MC, voiceover artist and script writer.
