David Kau

I’d never had experience in stand-up comedy,” recalls David, “the first comedy show I ever saw was the first one I was in.” And for the next few years David was a headliner in this international comedy festival.
David was discovered at the Smirnoff International Comedy festival at The Baxter theatre in Cape Town, October 1998. The first time he ever performed as a stand-up comedian. At that year’s festival there were 44 comedians – 33 from London, Australia, USA – 11 South African – he was the only Black! The next year he was the headliner at the same comedy festival, two weeks at The Playhouse theatre in Durban, another two weeks at The Baxter theatre in Cape Town. He went on to perform at this comedy festival for four years in a row.
