I'm a stand up comedian and writer, and radio show host in Cape Town South Africa. Comedy and laughter are my soul's fire.

I have a roommate, who's also a Comedian and Actor and TV Presenter.
Our flat is a train station with people (comedians, guests, family members) coming and going all the time, but I'm usually home during the days - As I write from home, however this changes all the time as I'm freelance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling to NYC in July this year to do some stand-up at the clubs there. My mecca.
I'm a starving artist and the South African currency recently CRASHED so the USD is the most scary conversion for us. If I thought I was broke before, wait till I divide my cash by 16.
I have a few friends in New York, but am looking to couch-surf in between as much as possible to meet lots of New Yorkers, and also to not overstay my welcome anywhere.
