My guest Tats Nkonzo is an international comedian who’s star is steadily rising. I see him as part of the “Leaders of the New School”. These are a new brand of comedians who are representing a global perspective. Tats is repin’ his hood but his hood is also the world. Like the USA, South Africa is a collage of cultures, cooking in a stew. This created the perfect cultural meals for Tats Nkonzo to have digested a microcosm of the world. He is armed with an arsenal of world wide, pop culture references, literature, music, trivia and media.
This wide range perspective is why I find Tats’ humour to be so interesting and new. In this podcast chat, we learn a bit more about him as a person as he gives us his perspective on, getting Covid-19, Aging, Post Apartheid humour and more...
Tats is a very humorous conversationalist but this humour is also laced with a philosophical edge. This made for a fun podcast chat. It was a lot like having a conversation with a hilarious philosophy teacher.
