Deep Fried Man

Award-winning comedian Deep Fried Man's quirky, clever blend of music and comedy has seen him establish himself as a top South African comic in just over two years.

Having won both the Best Newcomer Award at the inaugural Comics Choice Awards, and the 2010 Parkers Comedy Showdown, Deep Fried Man has been performing at some of South Africa's biggest and best comedy events.  Highlights include 46664 presents It's No Joke, The Jozi Comedy Festival, Blacks Only, the Nando's Jozi Comedy Fest, The Heavyweight Comedy Jam and LNN Live at the Lyric Theatre to name a few.

His first one-man show, Deeply Fried, won an Ovation award at the 2011 Grahamstown National Arts Festival and was met with rave reviews during its most recent run at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square. He has also had significant exposure in local radio, print and online media, and has appeared on TV shows including LOL, Tonight with Trevor Noah, Opening Guys and Morning Live, as well as in the acclaimed local film Material.

He has had viral success with An Idiot's Guide to the SA Anthem, a video he made with fellow comedian Gareth Woods, has interviewed Julius Malema for MTV Base and accidentally got Helen Zille trending worldwide. The highlight of his career so far was playing "Ice, Ice Baby" to Vanilla Ice himself.
