The Almost Perfect Podcast

Oh, snap, we won a bunch of awards for the Durban 48 Hour Film Festival (Check out last week's episode with Yola Plaatjie to find out more about the film).

I've also been having a great time doing comedy lately.

It looks like everything is coming up Milhouse, for now.

Yola Plaatjie is a actor and radio presenter who recently tried her hand at directing for the first time for the 48 Hour Film Festival. A film which Bob wrote and they both starred in called 'The Sound of Murder'. We get into the dynamics of working under pressure with people for the first time and how having your partner on set can be really helpful for keeping tensions down. We hear about Yola's childhood in the Eastern Cape and what she learned from her mom and her gran growing up, and we find out how her love of acting was emboldened when she went to school in Rome. Yola also tells us how she came to play Dr Nangamso Jack on Durban Gen and the challenges of playing a character who is so different to her. Enjoy.

Dillan Oliphant is a comedian and probably South Africa's most well-known Man Utd fan. While Dillan has been one of SA's most popular comedians for a while now, he feels like he's finally reached the skill level to make jokes about the things he really wants to talk about. His latest show, "Chooses Violence", digs into why South Africa is such a violent country and explores the effects it's had on us. Sounds heavy, but Dillan knows how to make you laugh whilst he's making a point. We chat about how he put the show together and why, we hear about the responsibilities of being a popular Man Utd fan, and we dig into how therapy has helped Dillan and why he talks about it on stage. Enjoy.

Bob discusses going to a professional to minimise the visual effects of his receding hairline, reflects some more on the Point Waterfront Arts Festival, and, surprise surprise, talks about social media and wrestling. Big surprise. Enjoy.

It's the first ever live episode of The Almost Perfect Podcast and what a great episode it is. Hands down the funniest episode of the podcast to date. Content creating comedian Waylene Beukes and seasoned radio DJ Rob Forbes provided many laughs trying to tell me their life stories whilst nursing hang overs. Being the only person not on the jol the night before, Mojak Lehoko helped get the ball rolling by joining us for the first 5 minutes.

Ja, next time I need to get a mic for the audience, and I need to describe things better for the listener at home, and the sound could be better, but for a first time? It's almost perfect. Enjoy.

A big thank you to The Chairman for hosting us, thanks to the Point Waterfront Arts Festival for asking me to get involved, and thanks to everyone who came and joined us.

Keep up with Waylene on Instagram, Rob on Twitter, and Mojak on Instagram.

In this bonus episode, Bob either avoided getting scammed or completely ruined a man's day. You be the judge.
Bob also weighs in on John Steenhuisen tryna be the South African Trump. 

There's some other things said too but that's the gist of it. Enjoy.

Takunda Bimha is the festival director of the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival and the founder of Podium, a comedy agency that helped boost the careers of some of South Africa's best comedians. We hear how Kagiso Lediga took a chance on him as a producer on the Pure Monate Show and how that opened his eyes to the potential of South African comedy. He saw the role he could play behind the scenes to help it reach that potential which is what lead to him starting the agency. Now his clients are all household names and the JICF is SA's premier comedy festival. We hear how it all came about. Enjoy.
