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.

5. Alan Committie: Nil Nisi Optimum

This week on the podcast I take a metaphorical drive to Pretoria with one of South Africa’s most gifted, respected and prolific comedians / actors / comic actors / qualified high school teachers.

According to a pre-pandemic Wikipedia entry, he’s performed “on stage, television, radio and the Internet” - proof that the man is simply way ahead of his time.

We don’t get into his relationship status on this episode, but according to www.datingcelebs.com, “we are currently in process of looking up information on his previous dates and hookups.” The same website also notes that “his birth name is Alan Committie” but that “she is currently 47 years old”. Also something we will have to revisit in part two.

Please enjoy this conversation with one time captain of the Westerford High School 2nd XI cricket team, the South African Truck Drivers Association comedian of the year (1999), Tokai’s Basil Faulty, Bergvliet’s Mr Bean, the brilliant Alan Committie.
