ABOUT
Headlining the show we have... ROBBY COLLINS (JHB.. although he is originally from DBN). Robby Collins’ rise from actor on the Durban theatre circuit to fully fledged stand-up comedian has taken all of 4 years, still considered one of the emerging faces comedy Robby’s career achievements belies his years on the comedy circuit. A comedian whose material draws on real life comes across at ease on the stage and has a very believable stage presence, endearing himself to audience with his gawky giraffe frame. Robby has played to the biggest comedy audiences in South Africa with appearances at ‘The Heavy Weight Comedy Jam’ and ‘Blacks Only’ comedy shows. Further proof of his talent lies in his personal selection by SA’s top comics as their opening act, Marc Lottering, Eugene Khoza and Trevor Noah. His Tour with Trevor Noah was extensive and constituted over 50 shows all over Southern Africa.

After beginning his stand up career in a dingy bar in 2010, he went on to debut his one man show "How Did I Get Here" in Johannesburg and Cape Town to great reviews. His mum had this to say: "Great show, but can you take out the dustbin?"
With various writing and performance credits on the satirical news show Late Nite News, Mojak continued to write on a plethora of tv shows. Plethora means one right? Anyway, Mojak wrote a screenplay for Etv's Ekasi stories movie series, titled "A Wanna Be." Mojak is currently performing stand up comedy across the country and touring his one man shows.
And if that WASN'T ENOUGH. We have SIMMI AREFF (JHB) as the host for the night!
