Another gig , another excruciating photosession.


5 minutes to go: Comedians form small, nervous knots backstage, crack bad jokes.

Outside , Jason Cope and Kagiso Lediga attempt to hotbox in the parking lot.


Oh fuck off - Chris McEvoy auditions for the role of Ratanga Manager in Dave and Jason's new scetch.

There must be some mistake: Actresses from Obs mistake the Armchair Threatre for the Baxter, and begin a four hour make-up session. Mark (backround) impatiently waits his turn.


Kurt Schoenraad rocks the 400-strong crowd with amusing anecdotes about Mitchell's Plein violence, rape, and teeth.

Riaad Moosa: Blinded by the intense light that shone in every performer's face for no apparent reason.


Oh God: Not another picture of three comedians backstage standing in a circle. It's the last one, we promise.

I feel pretty: Some say Tshepo Mogale may be the next really funny guy called Tshepo - and they are right.


I did it and I know it! Tracey Klass after a truly great set, smiles the way her mother told her not to as she comes offstage.
