ABOUT

Headline act - DONOVAN GOLIATH!
Parents who name their kid Donovan David Goliath must surely expect that the internal conflicts caused by giving their son such a name would lead him into comedy one day. And, when he leaves a lucrative advertising job for a full time career in comedy, they only have themselves to blame. But comedy audiences are happy about it, even if his folks are not. Donovan David Goliath’s bedtime stories about growing up in the Transkei as a coloured boy who looks white but speaks fluent Xhosa are more funny than scary. In fact, it’s this life experience that launched him into comedy in the first place. It all began on the 26th September 2010 where he did his first ever 4min 35sec set at the Comedy Underground in Melville. This is our first time bringing this comedic heavyweight into The 031 and we cant wait for you to watch him!
 
Support Act: MO MOTHEBE!
This Pretoria-raised, Joburg-based comedian is a fresh face on the local comedy scene. Mo began his comedy career in 2013 and has gone on to entertain audiences all over the country, notably as the opening act for Tats Nkonzo’s show “Clever Black”. He was nominated for the prestigious best Newcomer award at the 2015 Comics Choice Awards and in the same month won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. He has featured on late night news with Loyiso Gola, The Bantu Hour, and was the first ever face of gautrain. You're going to love him!
