Our guest this week, Stuart Taylor — one of South Africa’s most loved comedians — takes us through decades of comedy, life, and relationships. From building a career on stage to navigating the joys and challenges of marriage and parenthood, Stuart shares how personal experiences shape his comedy and his perspective on life.

The creative journey behind shows like Odd Man Out, Techni-Coloured, and Bespoke.

Lessons from live audiences, hecklers, and testing material in real time.

Why South Africans have a unique ability to find humour in adversity.
