YOU could see on his face that South London comedian Steven K Amos could not quite believe how receptive his South African audience at the national arts festival was to his abrasive attack on sacred SA cows.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So he gave it to them.<\/p>\n

Car guards in Grahamstown’s High Street were given the jibe: \u201cI can drive! I can park my own f***** car!\u201d. How could we call Grahamstown a city just because it has a cathedral, \u201cIt’s a village man!\u201d and the Pick n Pay was not spared: \u201cYou pick you pay, you don’t pick and run away! WTF!\u201d<\/p>\n

Four hundred festinoes filled the front rows of the Guy Butler theatre and they loved being looked at from the outside.<\/p>\n

He cut into racial stereotypes, played with his thick London and Nigerian accents, and did a lot of education about sex, being black and gay. \u201cThe talk, did your dad give you the talk?\u201d<\/p>\n

His best laughs came from lampooning the the British royals, especially Prince Philip who he said seemed to pop up everywhere, and \u201cwill just never die\u201d, and a quip about Zuma also hanging on.<\/p>\n

It was a long show, with an interval, but the BBC star who is on a world tour, took it to the full one hour and 45 minutes, before thanking his audience who gave him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

You can catch him for his second and last show at the National Arts Festival tonight. Book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
