South African comedian Nik Rabinowitz has spent the last twenty years performing stand-up. Before that he grew up on a farm outside Cape Town, delivering soliloquies up pine trees and commentating on his own rugby games in three of the country’s eleven official languages. Mid-pandemic, Nik sat down to record a series of conversations with fellow performers to reconnect and reminisce about the pre-covid “olden times”, and explore a range of other topics including the behind-the-scenes world of stand-up, and the evolution of South African comedy.
