Comedy legend and film producer David Kau recently hangout with Talk Radio 702’s Clement Manyathela to talk about his comedy journey to the stage and making people laugh. The seasoned comedian, who hails from the Free State, has been on the scene for decades with one goal in mind: “I wanna make people laugh.”
David said: “his first gig came from a one-man show he wrote as an assignment for UCT Drama School, it ‘just happened’ to be funny.”
“Someone booked me based on that for a comedy showcase and then I ended at a standup comedy festival in 1998, and I’ve been doing standup comedy since.”
He has produced, directed and even starred a number of local favourites, including _The Pure Monate Show, Bunny Chow, Blitzpatrollie, _and more recently Who’s My Daddy.
“[The Pure Monate Show] in 1997 was the first time we thought ‘okay, maybe we can have our own in living colour Saturday Night Live-type show’. Six years later, 2003 was the first season of PNS, it changed television, and it changed a lot of things in comedy.”
