​Comedian Kagiso KG Mokgadi is set to share the stage with "pesky puppet" Chester Missing, paarl comedian Jonathan Cooper and other local acts for the Diversity Week "Comedy Night" on Tuesday (30 September). 

Diversity Week, with the theme, "Glocal is lekker", kicks off on Monday (29 September) and comes to an end on 3 0ctober. Most activities will again be taking place on the Rooiplein, where a "village" of specially erected tents and stalls will create a sense of community. 

The "Comedy Night" slot takes place on the Rooiplein and starts at 18:00. Admission is free to all Stellenbosch University students and staff members.

KG, voted by South Africa's professional comedians as SA's Best Breakthrough Comic of the year at the 2014 South African Comics Choice Awards, takes his audiences on a unique comedy journey with a glimpse into the "behind the scenes" practices of a Sangoma and what it's like having one that you call "dad", a nurse for a mom and why he was never able to take a day off sick from school. 

In a very short period of time KG has moved from being an open-mic comedian to being a featured act in club, theatre and corporate comedy.He made his big stage performance at the Joburg Arts Alive Festival in the Comedy Nine-Nine showcase and earning rave reviews from the audience members and organisers alike. Since then he has shared the big stage with the South African comedy elite. The shows include, The Funny Festival 2012, Keeping You In Stitches with Riaad Moosa, The Marc Lottering Roadshow, Blacks Only Comedy Show and many more. David Kau and Nik Rabinowitz have entrusted him to be the opening act for their one man shows.
