Jonathan
Comedy
Cast: Rickus Nel, Brumilda van Rensburg, Karlien van Jaarsveld
Jonathan, a dreamer and wannabe stand-up comedian in his late 20s, still lives with parents.
After another failed open mic performance he gets drunk and crashes his father’s dream car on the way home.
This is the last straw for his loving but fed-up parents and his father kicks him out of the house.
Sitting at a restaurant not knowing where to go, he watches car guards in the parking lot and decides that he will become a car guard just to stay afloat until the next big stand-up comedy competition that he firmly believes he can win.
After a very hostile reception by the other car cards, the eldest car guard decides to take Jonathan under his wing and teaches him the finer art of being a car guard and, more importantly, he teaches Jonathan about life and how to survive as an outcast.
Jonathan also falls in love with a girl way out of his league.
Life takes a massive turn when Jonathan and his mentor’s Lotto ticket wins the lottery.
Jonathan, however, manages to lose all the money in a matter of days.
This put Johnathan on a journey to try and redeem himself.
