DAVID KAU


Incontinence is a theme that stands out in funny man, David Kau's resume…"In Grade 2 during prayer, David wets himself…Grade 5…David is called to the principal's office…he leaves a temporary river on the principal's table (after three lashes on the ass)." Today David has learnt how to hold it in and he is the one lashing out the jokes, having performed in national and international comedy shows all over the country, David's stress management has come a long way since Grade 5.

At school he was almost prevented from writing his final exams and was often in trouble due to outstanding fees. He celebrated the end to his cash flow problems when in 1998 he blessed himself with a new name…"Previous LEE Disadvantaged."

A much-demanded comedian, David has performed at the October 1998 Smirnoff International Comedy festival at the Baxter where he was one of the 44 comedians (11 international) performing. At the Grahamstown Arts Festival in 1999 he was the first black stand-up comic one-man show, The Rainbow Nation Tour. October 1999, Smirnoff International Roadshow, Durban and Smirnoff International Comedy Festival at the Baxter, Cape Town. 1999 - 2000, opening act for International Comedians performing at Ratanga Junction, Cape Town. Recently, David performed with other top South African and American comedians at Gold Reef City in the Blackout Comedy show.
