ABOUT KG
Kagiso Mokgadi, better known as “KG”, is a quintessential comedy heavyweight. Influenced by old-school comedy greats and unfettered by the latest trends, KG’s gags are delivered from his unique perspective on life that will have you laughing from deep within your belly.
He’s got his own thoughts and lots to say. And someone gave him a mic.
The son of a journalist-turned-sangoma father and a nurse mother, KG takes his audiences on a unique comedy journey with a glimpse into the “behind the scenes” practices of a sangoma, what it’s like having a nurse for a mom, and why he was never able to take a day off sick from school.
Touted as an up-and-coming great, KG made his big stage performance debut at the 2011 Joburg Arts Alive Festival in the Comedy Nine-Nine showcase, earning rave reviews from the audience members and organisers alike. Since then he has shared the stage with South Africa’s comedy elite: Rob Van Vuuren, Mark Palmer, Ndumiso Lindi, Kurt Schoonraad, Riaad Moosa and Stuart Taylor. The likes of David Kau and Nik Rabinowitz have entrusted him to be their opening act at their shows. As Nik says, this is a major risk – he’s so good that he might pack a bigger punch than the main act!
As a 2013 nominee for the best newcomer award at the South African Comics Choice Awards, KG went ahead and ran his first solo show, Heavy, at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. A week’s worth of packed houses resulted in standing ovations and a four-star review in the media.
The next “big” thing
KG compares an experience of his comedy to a long Christmas lunch with your favourite uncle who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks at the dining room table. He takes on a whole range of subjects with seasoned comic swag and maturity.
His one-man show, Heavy, is about an overweight son of a sangoma and a western medicine nurse who considers fist fighting an inconvenience. His view of our country’s politics can only be considered unique. Expect big-belly laughs and a hilarious point of view that comes with a little difference of opinion.
KG is fast becoming one of the top new acts to take to the stage in South Africa. Mark Palmer and Kurt Schoonraad both believe that, even though he’s a big guy already, he’s going to be huge one day.
