Is the Madness Over?
After 18 years of talking dirty, traveling the world and winning prizes for it, John Vlismas is reaching an age where maturity may finally take hold... or will it?

From the first time you see Ndumiso, you can’t help but feel good. His novel blend of nu-school style and solid tradition makes for a brilliant and outstanding South African comedy act. His deep voice, soul-warming smile, booming laughter, original content and seamless delivery leave you proud to be local and laughing from the belly. While other acts relentlessly circle the major centres of our nation, Ndumiso is also quietly going about the business of performing all over Africa. With rave reviews in Ghana, Nigeria and upcoming shows in Kenya and Uganda, this man is taking SA comedy to places few would manage or imagine. |

Fresh, young, gifted and humble. Not words one would associate with new talent in SA Comedy right now… Mpho shows enormous promise, with uncanny polish for his age, and brings a very current and unique viewpoint onto the big comedy playing field.

For 15 years John has deftly walked the line between underground, alternative and mainstream comedy. His particular brand of strange and hilarious has charmed local and international audiences alike. His absurd worldview has the rare ability to resonate across any audience. Corporate groups, spotty students and mensa inductees all respond to his unique, home grown observations.
He has written, directed, lectured, acted and mc’d in all kinds of venues from seedy bars to the Royal Albert Hall. He’s odd, he’s mad, he’s sharper than you and he’s the guy that gets the guy who booked him a promotion.
