Radio Raps, also known as “Jonathan van die Oos-Rand”, is no stranger to comedy lovers in South Africa and is back by popular demand to entertain fans at Carnival City.
He gets real at the Big Top Arena with his latest one-man show, Genuine, on October 12.
In his characteristic, no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is style, he gets to the core of humankind’s vulnerabilities and idiosyncrasies, and what makes mankind a unique species.
“Genuine boys, we should really consider not taking ourselves so seriously,” he said.
Known for phrases such as Lekker boys, Da vat hy, Okeey and Olraait, Jonathan van die Oos-Rand emerged on the local entertainment scene when online radio station, Radio Raps posted some of his original material on YouTube.
