South African comedian Dalin Oliver returns to Cape Town with his multi-award-winning, globe-trotting one-man stand-up show, 90 Day Comedian. Back by popular demand, he takes the stage for a final run at the Baxter Theatre Studio from 27 October to 1 November.
This Cape Town show marks a special milestone, as Dalin is joined on stage for the very first time by his wife, Maxine — a chart-topping R&B singer fresh off the release of her debut EP, It’s Complicated.
The evening unfolds in two acts:
Dalin opens with his signature brand of stand-up comedy and stories about performing the show in seven countries and 19 cities outside of South Africa — including Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, England, France, Spain, and Germany.
The dynamic duo, fresh from tour performances in London and Horsham, England, then share the spotlight before Maxine takes centre stage for a soulful live performance that brings their story full circle in their hometown.
Dalin recently made his debut at prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and cant’ wait to dive into themes of identity, culture, and belonging—offering a hilarious yet moving reflection on what it means to be proudly South African in a world that often misunderstands our people, culture, rich heritage and diversity.
A former high school teacher turned laughter specialist, his sharp wit and infectious charm has won over audiences locally and around the world.
Show reviews and accolades include:
- FRINGE WORLD Best Weekly Comedy Show Award (Perth, Australia, 2024)
- Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award (National Arts Festival, Makhanda, South Africa, 2024)
- Comics Choice Comedy Awards, Best Solo Show Nominee (South Africa, 2024 & 2025) ‘Deep cultural connection in the guise of a great conversation with an interesting guy at the bar.’ ★★★★½ Fringefeed (Australia) ‘A masterclass in relatability and humor, leaving everyone in the room feeling like they had just shared something special with an old friend.’ ★★★★½ Last Minute Craic (Ireland)
Come experience an evening of laughter, music, stories, and the celebration of what connects us all—through the eyes of two of SA’s brightest comedy and music voices.
Thank you for the continued love and support. See you at the show - Awê 😊
