AWARD WINNING ACTOR KICKS OF ONE MAN COMEDY SHOW
STAGE TIME is a Stand-up comedy, a solo project written and performed by Phillip M Dikotla,
“The concept of STAGE TIME was inspired by the term “Stage Time” as used in the standup
comedy community, normally associated with the process of a comedian’s growth that’s
focussed on trying new ideas, finding one’s creative voice, practice, and taking risks,”
Dikotla elaborates further, “Also, it’s just about a guy telling stories and jokes in
a big random performance space, leading up to a big experimental comedy special. It’s a
breath of fresh air for any comedy fanatic.”
A live & original one-man stand-up comedy show like no other, STAGE TIME is just like
seating with friends and family, sharing your favorite collection of viral video content, with
each clip coming with its own memories of characters, and lived experiences. Throughkotlaperformance, comedic and artistic genius, this highly relatable social experience is brought
to the stage live, in a mix medium presentation of viral video clips and Phillip Dikotla’s display of conversational,
outrageous, self-depreciative, twisted, and hilarious mind-bending humour.
Dikotla is a comedian and a multi-award winning theatre actor, writer, and director. He
holds the Olive Schreiner Award for Drama; Fleur du Cap Award for best performance in a
one man show; Standard Ovation Award; Arts and Culture trust impact Award for theatre;
Zabalaza Festival Best production; Cape Town Fringe Fresh Festival Award; and the
Naledi Award for Best Community Theatre Production. His brand of comedy is fresh, wokeish
and intellectual-like. In his everyday-everyman-like demeanour he presents a sidesplitting
view on our everyday experiences and conversations. His narrative, edgy, self-depreciative
humour, brilliant delivery, and performance of his story-like jokes, boldly
favours authenticity over likability, and sets him apart from an array of rising comedians in
South Africa.
