Henk van der Schyf is a booker, promoter, venue owner, restaurateur, and there are probably quite a few titles I'm leaving out. Point is: the man keeps busy. He's been hella instrumental behind the scenes of SA's music scene, first through the legendary Hotbox Studios (They never recorded a single song but knew how to throw a party) and now through festivals like Park Acoustics and Mieliepop.

We hear how Henk has managed to carve out a sustainable career in an incredibly difficult industry to have any sort of longevity. And we get a lot of actionable advice on how to put together your own events. Enjoy.

Sonny Phiri aka Sonny the Jobber is a YouTuber and wrestler. If you're a member of the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) you've probably come across Sonny's videos on YouTube. He's racked up over a million views just by sharing his passion for wrestling, although that success is a double-edged sword. We get into how he found his niche, creator burnout, copyright strikes, and why he wants to go to Japan to further his wrestling career. Oh, and we talk about wrestling, a LOT.

Cobus van Rensburg is a comedian, filmmaker, and actor. Growing up in an Afrikaans family of physicists, Cobus was always going to grow up to be a unique snowflake. Something he's learned to embrace. His comedy career started in high school, being asked to tell jokes to the other kids, which is where he developed both a clean and a dirty set before ever setting foot in a club. We get into the minutia of joke writing and wax philosophical about the role of the comedian. We also hear what it was like to tour the country doing comedy whilst studying. Enjoy.

Sophie Joans is an actor, playwriter, comedian, and clown. Her debut solo play 'Île' (Baxter Theatre, 2-6 May) has earned awards and much critical acclaim. As an independent producer of her own work though, putting on an award-winning play still comes with its difficulties. We get into the struggles and triumphs Sophie has experienced taking 'Île' across the country. We also hear how her burlesque clown act came about (seriously), and why you shouldn't eat curry before going on the slides at uShaka (seriously). Enjoy.

Part comedy tour, part Eat, Pray, Love, this last week in Cape Town was a rather special experience.

It started with Craig Robinson saying I look like "an alcoholic Ryan Gosling," and ended with me doing karaoke at midnight on my own.

This is basically just a long af mondeling tbh. Enjoy.
