Emerging from Durban, Richelieu now resides in Johannesburg where he enjoys
entertaining audiences of all dynamics from the comedy club scene to corporate
functions, approaching each engagement with the same enthusiasm and
professionalism.
An ambassador for the TW Steel Rage Foundation and the regular host and mc for
Goliath and Goliath events, Richelieu's sharpened wit and authentic approach to
subjects and situations make him easily likeable.
Conversational in his approach, his style ranges from reactionary to subtle and
uncompromising at times. Visibly enjoying the rapport he establishes with
audiences, Richelieu displays a constant smile as he engages his growing fan base
in the South African comedy scene.
Nominated for a Comics's Choice award in the Audience Choice Category and the
popular host of the Aweh Mzansi Comedy tour. Richelieu's ability to adapt to his
surroundings make him perfect at corporate functions. Performing on the biggest
stages in the country, Richelieu is well equipped to hold his own alongside the
greats in South African comedy.
As the current Comedy Central Roast Battle Champion of South Africa, Richelieu
has just disembarked from the MSC Sinfonia where he got to roast VIP guests on
board as well as perform stand up comedy routines within the main theatre on the
ship.
Richelieu has recently toured around South Africa, playing all the major cities and
some of the smaller ones in between. With a 'Comedy Central Live' performance
under his belt, he has been a part of the writing team and starred in the popular
South African skit show Bantu Hour on SABC2. His writing experience does not end
there as he was on the writing team for Larger Than Life on SABC3 as well as chief
writer for the judges on the Comedy Roast Battle Shows.
