#169 - Phil de Lange (Comedian/Podcaster/Radio Producer - Nation Wild/Petty Crime South Africa/Smile FM)

Despite being called a "gimmick act" by older comedians early in his comedy journey, Phil de Lange has had a career many of them would be jealous of. He has a Comics Choice Award under his belt, performed as part of Trevor Noah's Nation Wild tour, and regularly headlines shows all across the country. All that while producing the breakfast show on Smile FM, and putting together his podcast, Petty Crime South Africa, which won the SA Podcasting Award for best comedy podcast. As an alt music scenester from a small city, Phil and Bob share many similarities, which makes Phil the perfect guy to give Bob tips on how to navigate his recent move to Cape Town. In this episode, we hear how Phil and Bob were both at the same small punk festival in Bloemfontein, we discuss the surprisingly controversial topic of musical comedy and whether or not Phil sees his ukulele as a crutch, and we gush about our mutual love of Marc Maron and audio-only podcasting.
