<p>My guest on episode six of Driving to Pretoria is an award-winning journalist, author, satirist, columnist, and recovering Roman Catholic / stand up comedian. Many credit her with helping save South Africa from the jowls of the Guptas. I credit her with being one of the smartest, bravest, funniest people I know. Please enjoy this rambling discussion with the brilliant, razor-sharp witted, and thoroughly ungovernable Marianne Thamm.</p>

7. Kurt Schoonraad: Too Damn Duidelik

South African comedian Nik Rabinowitz has spent the last twenty years performing stand-up. Before that he grew up on a farm outside Cape Town, delivering soliloquies up pine trees and commentating on his own rugby games in three of the country’s eleven official languages. Mid-pandemic, Nik sat down to record a series of conversations with fellow performers to reconnect and reminisce about the pre-covid “olden times”, and explore a range of other topics including the behind-the-scenes world of stand-up, and the evolution of South African comedy.
