#172 - Andie Reeves (Writer / Comedian / Podcaster / Crafter - Two Freaks Notice / Cape Town Craft Club)
The multi-talented Andie Reeves has lived the kind of life where she just casually drops details that some people would write whole books about as if they're just backstory. Like the time she sailed halfway across the world on a catamaran as a private tutor, which she casually mentions while discussing the award-wining Two Freaks Notice podcast. The writer, podcaster, comedian, and crafter has kept herself busy and found a few ways to contribute meaningfully to the world. Like the six years she spent as a Montessori teacher, writing about sustainability in fashion, and starting the Cape Town Craft Club.

#171 - Khanyisa JamJam (Comedian - Sorry for the Weight)
Khanyisa JamJam aka JamJam The Comedian is the biggest cheerleader of all things South African, but especially sports. Who knew you could go from leading war cries at school to kicking it with the biggest names in South African sports, and selling out comedy shows in SA and abroad? JamJam's success is no fluke though as he's worked hard at being consistent both online and on stage. While everything seems to be clicking into place for JamJam, it hasn't always been an easy ride.In this episode, we learn why JamJam got a degree in Politics and how it helps with his comedy, we get an honest account of his struggles with addiction, and we have a rather frank discussion about race and privilege in South Africa. Enjoy.Keep up with JamJam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamjam_the_comedian/Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/almostperfectBuy tickets to Bob's WIP performance of It's Not The End of the World: https://www.quicket.co.za/events/307177-its-not-the-end-of-the-world-bob-perfect/#/ Hosted on Acast.

In Memory of Ebenhaezer Dibakwane
The South African comedy community is in mourning as we all found out about the passing of Ebenhaezer Dibakwane this weekend. Ebenhaezer was beloved by everyone in SA comedy and touched the lives of countless people with his infectious energy. Eb was a truly original thinker who never shied away from his truth.I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Eb at his flat in Joburg in early 2020 before COVID hit. To this day, it's one of the most honest interviews I've ever done and has stuck with me ever since. We do speak rather candidly about some very dark topics, so this may be a bit too heavy for some people to listen to right now. Still, I think it's important to know who Eb was and how he thought, and I think this conversation helps do that through his own words.The original interview has been edited to sound a bit better as the original recording isn't great.

#170 - Céline Tshika (Actor/Singer/Comedian - Politically Aweh / Jess Goes West / Bad African)
Not many people in comedy have an engineering degree to fall back on (they're usually doctors), but Céline Tshika is, uh, built different. You probably know Céline from her viral musical sketches that have skyrocketed her to online fame, but those videos are the culmination of years of experimenting and growing as a multi-faceted artist. After making her parents happy by earning an engineering degree, Céline ventured to the Cape Town of USA, Los Angeles, and studied acting, where she created, wrote and starred in her award-winning comedy web series, Jess Goes West. Now she's back in the Los Angeles of SA and combining her love of theatre, music, and comedy with her debut solo show, Bad African.In this episode, we hear how things literally changed over night for Céline and discuss the pressures of delivering a great live show when you've built an audience online. We get into Céline's journey with religion and the anxiety of talking about it on stage in a typically conservative country. And we learn about the realities of going viral on the wrong parts of the internet.
