Richelieu tells us what clothing won’t get you into a club. We find out why the beach attracts racists. We discuss movies. And Ray Shivamba - a doctor who is also an anaesthetist with a Robin Hood complex giving back to his community - has an art exhibition in Tzaneen with a strong upliftment angle. And he’s doing a comedy set in the gallery. Our guests drive 400kms to be on the podcast so we must be doing something right.

Martin Davis is in town! This means a plethora of life and comedy knowledge. But it mostly ends up being about Mods, Aretha, cakes, Airbnb, accents, art in the forest, Clint Eastwood and how a saying like ‘sh!t to a blanket’ needs more exposure.

When we finally get Tumi Morake to agree to be on the podcast we better be prepared. And we weren’t. From a Netflix special to writing a column and producing a live TV show, she has made us all realise we all need to work harder. Her advice and views are like golden comedy nuggets. We also have a quiet voice of reason in commercial director Jonathan Petersen who educates us with his insight into the SA ad and film production industry. But Tumi ruled the thing like a ‘Queen’! And a Lego vagina.

This show is a fantastic forum for young comics to learn more about the craft. Cobus van Rensburg was our sponge today, learning everything about how real the comedy hustle is.

She’s the opening act for John Vlismas this month, she did the 67 Minutes for Mandela show at Parker’s, and has produced her own all female audience show with Kate Goliath. Eric, Ryan and Dave all agree to up...

Why did Dave get a phone call from Google after searching 80s porn music? Ryan and Dave fly solo, and it goes surprisingly well. They interview a guest via an email he sent. And Alfred Adrian has car trouble. Eric is in freezing Grahamstown with the donkeys... which tells you where he’d rather be. The guys still manage to give excellent gig advice, and then Martin Evans saves the show with a Cape Town round up. A solid 8.3 out of 11.
