Just the Impromp2 of us… [with Megan Furniss]… we can make it if we try…
i met Megan Choritz, wow, 17 years ago? As you can see, it started out quite daunting – the person who brought Improv to Cape Town in the form of TheatreSports, now Improguise, Cape Town’s longest running show [and best kept secret somehow]. But pretty soon i had gained confidence and the tables had been […]

Jesus Feminist: Part Intro
Sarah Bessey is one of my favourite people on the Twitterer. She is a Canadian who loves Jesus and pretty much any time i have read one of her blog pieces i resonate deeply with it and really feel that she writes both truthfully but also lovingly [often a tough mix to get just right] […]

Maybe you ARE a racist butt…
My friend, Rebecca, who has written before on my blog – a message to South Africa over here, and about her journey with dyslexia over here – wrote this as a status update the other day: Dear racist old man on the Pavilion escalator. I’m sorry you smashed your phone screen and that it’s going to […]

Tandem Post: The Art of Boredom

I was born in the Eastern Cape in the ‘80s. I studied Journalism and Media […]
Highlight Moment from my life #61: Richard Branson

So those of you who follow my blog will be aware that i received an email from a friend who wanted to remain anonymous but was wrestling with some questions and issues as a white South African who is currently living overseas but looking in. i published Bob’s email over here. i then invited some […]

Highlight Moment from my life #27: Airports
Many years ago, i went to visit two of my greatest plutonic girl friends, Sam Gardyne and Debbie Payne. i met them at a Baptist Youth Summer Camp in Kimberly and for some reason we just clicked and they became two of my favourite people in life, and remained that way for ever, despite us […]
100 Highlight moments from my life.
i have lived [and continue to live] a full life… The other day i posted about how my wife organised Black Widow and Hulk costumes so that we could watch the new Avengers: Age of Ultron movie dressed up. i also returned home from my trip to Durban to find that she had discovered an […]
