I am still trying to "sense" his humour – I am not sold, but I hear/read a lot o' people enjoy his work.

He's dope. I like the way he talks about "coloured" identity, since one of his parents is white and one is black, and as such he is "coloured" but not culturally as he puts it. He challenges the way people think about race and the closed-off apartheid boxes we still live in : Black, White, Indian, Coloured.
Nice pic, too ;)
@lebogang nkoane: you're putting it mildly. That nigga is straight up WHACK. Don't beat around the bush, don't dilly-dally and be politically correct. This nigga Whack!
Yeah, I said it!
I hate the way South African comedians are obsessed with race. It's as boring/annoying/frustrating to me us much as everyone and everything else about South Africa that is obsessed with race.
@shy1: (good) Comedians make fun of society and its ilnesses. South Africa is obsessed with skin colour (read: race*), it's everywhere: politics, media, publicity, it reflects who we are and how we interact with one another. This ilness needs to be exposed and ridicularised so that we can take a good look at ourselves.
Attention: I have never seen this guy's act, so I'm just reacting to your comment, not defending him.
*race is a very ambiguous definition, most of us generalize others as belonging to a certain racial group based only on our observation of skin colour and hair. Most of us need to categorize society in order to know where we stand. That is ill.
@ UP. that's what I was observing, although just because this guy (who I haven't seen either) makes fun of society and its illnesses, this doesn't necessarily make him a good comedian.
