We try to do a highlights reel for you to round off 2018. Then some biking NUNS (an acronym) join us and hijack the show. Trust us, you know nothing about lady biking clubs. Until you meet N*ggers Under No Supervision... and we possibly say the N word way too much on this episode. We started our own Comedians Under No Supervision. CUNS!

Take a listen to Ryan and Dave get as deep and emotional as two males can get. It’s been an interesting year for comedy, with some obscure and underground concepts becoming mainstream. These days people seem to be more educated around comedy issues. They know where the clubs are, they can name more than 5 comedians, there’s stand up on Netflix etc. So there’s really no excuse. We decided to give thanks for what we have... instead of looking over the imaginary wall to see how the ‘Joneses’ are...

Richelieu believes in some unwritten comedy rules. Basic comedy values. Are there rules for new comics? Is it ok to have rules? We also discuss whether Durban has a sustainable scene, and if stereotype observations are still relevant. Can male comics do the ping pong ball trick? We reveal this, and even found a client who has manners. Eric had a real gig so he wasn’t late... and Woody sent some fantastic memes!

Why do people heckle? What’s the best way to deal with them? And what’s the measure of success in comedy or in any field for that matter? We get into a heated discussion about what it takes to be a well rounded entity. Our guest is the quiet unassuming Jermaine Mattroos... his calmness juxtaposes his crazy energy on stage. We chat about the hustle needed to compete as a new comic. He even sells perfumes to keep afloat. And Eric was 6 minutes late but he said he’d be there "justnow"!

This was an intense 15 minutes that lasted an hour. When 16 comedians pull into town it’s the perfect time for a podcast. Cape Town comics at the Clarens Comedy Fest Martin Evans and Angel Campey join the JustNow team for a chat. We get deeply philosophical about material that can and can’t be done. Including rape culture references. We then move into the more serious subject of fake ‘real’ love dolls. And Richelieu tells us about his serial killer cousin serving 180 years in prison. It's 55...

Rabin Harduth is a creative force in the industry. But instead of talking about the Clarens Comedy Fest, he explains how blood pressure and hypertension will make you appreciate life, and then it turns into a discussion about striking starter kits and car guard salaries. Also, in a very rare occurrence, a JustNow listener comes to visit us to be on the show. Thanks for being so calm in the chaos Cornelius! Rob in Holland let us know he was "Lit AF!" Maybe the best way to listen to us?

What a pleasure having 5 comedians around the mic on Heritage Day eve. Alfred Adriaan joins us. He’s the most logical comedian in the land. He lets us into some secrets regarding one man shows. We cover taxis, Superman, and how to move from weed to crack in 2 weeks. As Richelieu says you can take a horse to the water but no backstroke. Then Prince decides to become the judge of everything Ryan said. Eric was on time (sort of). We really shouldn't have smoked that joint on the roof before the...
