Netphlix

Internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning comedian, Sophie Joans, has a new

show. This tiny, independent fringe artist takes on the media conglomerate to explore

the question: What makes a good story?

Can you beat Squid Game? Is orange the new black? Should we call Saul? What were

the failings of Sex Education? Is it the End of the F**cking World? Is Eve ever gonna get

Killed? How many Russian Dolls are there? And WILL A GOOD SHOW WITH GREAT

POTENTIAL EVER GET RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON?

Who knows.

But you might find some answers in Nephlix - a visceral hour of live performance that will

leap out of your screen and into your lap.

NETPHLIX saw it’s debut at the National Arts Festival in 2025 to enormous applause and

a Standard Bank Ovation Award.
