His wit and dry sense of humour have made him popular amongst many in the comedy scene. He has worked in many different facets of comedy, including radio, improv, stand-up, and now even television as a host on SABC 3's show, 'Is That A Fact'.

He recently joined Bongani for a quick catch up ahead of his headline performance at the Savannah On Fire Durban Comedy Week. As expected, the interview had a good few laughs about his career, his life as a father, and he even got a chance to reminisce about a comedy festival hosted by East Coast Radio way back when.
