Our Judges
Master of Ceremonies
Nik Rabinowitz, Comedian
Renowned South African comic Nik Rabinowitz grew up on a farm outside Cape Town, climbing trees and commentating on his own rugby games in three of the country’s eleven official languages. As a child he attended a Waldorf School, where he learned how to plant vegetables, express his feelings through interpretative dance, and crochet his own underpants.
Unexpectedly graduating with a Bachelor of Business Science (Honours in Organizational Psychology) from the University of Cape Town, Nik spent a year touring Africa with a travelling theatre company before venturing into stand-up comedy. Nineteen years later he is recognized as one of South Africa’s most established acts.
