"My friends always found me very entertaining at family functions and always recommended I try it out, but I was very intimidated by being on stage with other experienced acts. In September 2017 I launched a show titled "Course Full" TUT COMEDY Nights and the show was aimed at giving newcomers a chance to be on stage and be recognised. That was where I made my mark as a comedian. After that I Performed In SA's Got Talent and my comedy just kept improving," he said.
Describing his style of comedy, he said it a mix of witty with story telling. "I also include some impersonations and a bit if dancing as well," he laughed.
