Stand up comedian uNik Rabinowitz at On Broadway

At last, comedy you can believe in-yes you can! Are you living on Credit Crunch cereal? Is your carbon footprint a size 13? Might your party leave you with an election hangover? There is hope, because Nik Rabinowitz is back with a new comedy show that will leave you shouting 'Yes we can!' Even if we can't. If everything is feeling like a cheap Chinese knock-off, uNik is a show that will remind you that we are all unique. Except the 6.5 billion of us who are exactly the same.
Stand up comedian uNik Rabinowitz at On Broadway

Nik was awarded the SA Comedy Award of the Year (2008) and is hailed as one of the best comedians in the Autonomous Chinese Peoples' Republic of South Africa. He was raised on the mean, green streets of Plumstead West, a world of ride-by shootings, piano lessons, and constant, unrelenting love and financial support from family members. He never quite recovered from seeing 12 clay pigeons brutally gunned down before his very own eyes on the Constantia Green Belt in 1987, and today he continues to campaign for the rights of sitting ducks, Patricia de Lille, and other small defenseless animals. But he's not alone. Joining Nik are a few unique alter-egos, including Gugs glamour girl Portia Van Zyl-Smith-Mvelaphanda, and the Sultana of Sea Point, Beryl Rosenberg.

A must-see for lovers of comedy, comedy lovers, lovers and single people as well, as well as couples, and people who are together but not actually going out, plus newlyweds who think they might like comedy but aren't sure, as well as people who might be dating but don't want to put any pressure on each other by formalizing things, oh, and also people who hate comedy but who feel like a change, because they can, even if they think they can't, uNik is unlike any other show you've ever seen. The show is written by Rabinowitz and Tom Eaton with direction by Brent Palmer.
