Comedians are aplenty in South Africa, but comedians who have stood the test of time with local audiences are rare. An all- time favourite is the one and only Joey Rasdien.

The success of his previous stand-up comedy shows, movies, TV ads and appearances on the small screen have cemented Joey’s presence within the market. His face is instantly recognisable from such classics as, Running Riot, Bunny Chow, Vaatjie Sien Sy Gat, Dollars and White Pipes, as well as Outrageous, Blitz Patrollie and Material with fellow comedian, Riaad Moosa.
