September marked the graduation of the New Skool Class of 2023 and who better to usher in the new graduants than South African legend KG Mokgadi [https://www.instagram.com/kgcomic/] and the Don of Dar es Salaam Captain Ahmed Dahal. [https://www.instagram.com/maverickbydahal/]  With a wealth of knowledge on the in's and out's of both the front end and back end of standup comedy in their respective countries and the continent, this episode highlights the work that goes into building a comedy pipeline stretching from Cape to Kanairo and what the future of standup comedy on the continent holds.  These two will definitely be making an appearance on stage, on the internet or on TV near you.

The Sitdown with Standups Episode 7: No Bull, Just Kau ft David Kau

In June 2023, the almost mythical David Kau [https://www.instagram.com/davidkau/] made a stopover in Nairobi from his world travels, we were able to convince him (*read bribe with golf*) to stick around for a week and in that time, he headlined a show (David Kau Live in Kenya) , facilitated our weekly workshop, took in the city of Nairobi and played a charity gold tourney. So it only made sense we tied him to the green seat, laced him with Rwandan/ Ethiopian coffee  and had one of the most insightful & unfiltered conversations around comedy and life in general.  Big shout out to all our partners across Africa for making this happen.
