Lesser Known Somebodies

Okay Wasabi aka George Mnguni joins me and Mojak to talk about his career. I use to see George come to Kitcheners Comedy Night and then the next thing he was a big YouTube star. He also has the freshest shoes in South Africa. In this conversation I was so impressed with how he thinks, how he has navigated and charted a course for his craft and dreams and just how funny he is as a person. Also..do you guys know Dali Danger? If so, please let him know that I would like to interview him!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I sat down and spoke to the force that is Lesego Tlhabi. Some may know her as Coconut Kelz, but what she really is is a big ball of talent that is on the cutting edge of satire. She is hilarious, whimsical and a joy to learn from. We talk about how she started and touch on how working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry influenced her. She is an incredible human and an artist and I loved speaking to her so openly.

If you know radio then at some time you have either listened to Rob or you have been in awe of his prowess. But what draws me to Rob is his aura. I am yet to meet someone who shows humility while also being one of the cleverest people in the room. You always feel good around Rob. You feel like he cares because he does. We talk about his time in radio, the loss of losing his brother, therapy, climate change, love looking good on him. Enjoy this episode and send some love to Rob if you can.

I sat down with Jason, Donovan and Nicholas Goliath to catch up with them. I had not seen them in awhile and i wanted to know how they have been, what they were doing and what they had learnt since we all had to evolve due to the changing world we live in from the pandemic. What ensued was hilarity, poignant moments and what I like to deem 'Sayings from the Village'.

I sat down with Tumi Morake who is one of South Africa's best comedians and actresses. Words really do fail when talking about Tumi. She is such a talented and enjoyable person to be in a room with. We talk about her career and thoughts and all the wonderful moments we have shared back stage and on stage and get to know about things she often does not reveal in interviews.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I sat down with the first Emirati comedian and one of my best friends in Dubai - I mean I don't know many people here so take that with a pinch of salt (sorry Best Friend Deen). We talk about the best dessert in the world 'Milk Cake'. We speak about comedy and hear his apparent 20 impersonations  - we need to start a conversation about his South African one... Enjoy.

I wish I could remember what we spoke about in this conversation to write up a proper bio. I recorded this episode with Majozi like two months ago in Cape Town and all I remember from it was that it was interesting and humorous. It is also the longest episode I have ever done. I hope you enjoy it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
