His rise in the comedy ranks was initially confirmed when he made the semi finals of MNET’s Laugh Out Loud Comedy Competition but when he won the Ricoffy Comedy Challenge in the same year – it was evident to all that he was a star in the making.

Those achievements and more great performances led to him being put on the line up for Arts Alive 2007 as well as 2 of the country’s biggest comedy shows – The Blacks Only and the Heavyweight Comedy Jam.

All this also led to him co-hosting a show on popular Joburg radio station, YFM and achieved great ratings during that period. He has also done various interviews and appearances on television, making him a name that’s becoming synonymous with comedy nationwide.
