Join Nik Rabinowitz as he plots his way through his new comedy special.
As the title suggests, there are some going to be a couple of fully formed jokes, some half baked ideas and the inevitable spur of the moment, tangential madness that is part and parcel of any Nik show...
This is an opportunity to catch Nik developing his next (fingers crossed) Netflix special in real time.

Comedy Starts AFTER Dinner Service is completed*

More on Nik
Renowned South African comic Nik Rabinowitz grew up on a farm outside Cape Town, climbing trees and commentating on his own rugby games in three of the country’s eleven official languages. As a child he attended a Waldorf School, where he learned how to plant vegetables, express his feelings through interpretative dance, and crochet his own underpants.
Unexpectedly graduating with a Bachelor of Business Science (Honours in Organisational Psychology) from the University of Cape Town, Nik spent a year touring Africa with a travelling theatre company before venturing into stand-up comedy. A whole bunch of years later, with a career spanning all sorts of thing, he is recognized as one of South Africa’s most established acts and well-known faces on the entertainment scene.
He’s toured internationally, including to the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, the US and the UK, where amongst other things he appeared at The Royal Albert Hall, on BBC 2’s ‘Mock the Week’, and he won gold for South Africa at the Jewish Olympics, which is like the Special Olympics, but with more accountants. (A little known fact: Rabinowitz is an extraordinarily talented cricketer. His leg-spinning prowess was so great that Pakistani bookmakers bankrolled his comedy career to keep his stunning skills out of the international arena**).
He lives in Cape Town with his wife and three children. His wife Deborah is a general practitioner, which means he can get a doctor’s note whenever he wants. Too bad he doesn’t have a real job. Also too bad – she’s now retired***.
