Q: What ' s your favourite funniest joke line? How do I even chose hahaha, well one
that comes to mind is that ladies shave their eyebrows off and then draw them back on again, now the problem is that some of them can ' t even draw, they draw them too high and walk around looking surprised the whole day, it ' s hard to have a conversation with someone who ' s looking surprised the whole time.

Q: Once saw your amazing performance you did at Rofhiwa Manyaga ' s Gospel Star Search on your YouTube channel, highlighting differences between white churches & black churches, how did you develop such a strong compelling concept or was it based from your personal experience? { Laughs }, it is honestly just from my personal experiences, with all my comedy I actually don ' t make up stories or“ write jokes” I am just narrating my own personal experiences both at church, home, work and wherever I find myself, though they are a few exaggerations as with any other story teller.
Q: Looking to the awards you won, what is exactly that you think sets you apart from other nominees?
My hunger! I want to succeed so bad( not that am saying others don ' t) but I live and breathe being this, I remember back when I did my DVD recording as people where busy in the venue with preparations a friend of mine came up to me and said, you see how many people are working here, they are all at work and getting paid, If you should ever fail or think of giving up remember you are taking plates off all these tables, it ' s not just about me.
Q: What process do you use to develop your stand-up comedy materials? I don ' t really have a specific process or way of writing, it ranges from me just seeing something happen and then seeing how I can re-tell it in a funny way to things just popping in my head as am just sitting, I have found myself in very awkward situations just laughing with myself in public because a joke just popped into my mind, but with all my material I always tell it to my fiancé.
Q: How did you end up with a title Almost Famous? I say I am Almost Famous not because I am chasing fame or anything like that, I said Almost Famous the first time I got on stage as an act of faith in God, that if I, a young boy from Makwarela, can put my trust in God and say it out in public that I am Almost Famous and have God bring me this far, then they too can believe, my goal is to have kids screaming am almost a doctor, am almost an engineer, am almost a PRESIDENT and have them work with all their might towards achieving that with all their faith in God.
Q: What ' s your most embarrassing moment? I was once booked to go perform at a
camp for disadvantaged kids from a village in the outskirts of Polokwane, little did I know that these kids didn ' t know a word of English and I too didn ' t know a word of their language, I did a full 15minutes set without even getting at least a smile, and again
I once got booked to go perform at this a company team building workshop at a lodge, somehow the guy helping me mistook me for someone else and took me to the wrong conference hall in that lodge, I then proceeded to do a full 15minutes set with no one laughing not even a smile, on my way out the guy actually comes and apologises and says he took me to a room of deaf people who were waiting on their guest speaker to come and address them in sign language.
Q: Where do you hope to see yourself in 10 years? I want to have written and produced a
few movies, I want my company AlmostFamous Ent. To have discovered and natured a lot of young talents in the stream am in but also in all other fields.
