The pheasant-print tie is real. The round wire-frame glasses are real. The first-class Philosophy degree from the University of Cape Town, the University of Warwick merit graduation, the £25,000 Oppenheimer Memorial Trust Scholarship, and the Master's in Screenwriting from the London Film School are also real, and considerably harder to fake. A London-based comedian and screenwriter, his material comes from the precise vantage point of someone who has spent a long time thinking very carefully about things that most people process and move on from.
His academic background spans philosophy, mathematics tutoring at the University of Cape Town, and one of the most competitive screenwriting programmes in the world. His current employment includes performing stand-up comedy and working at a pizza restaurant. Both of these things are true simultaneously, and both seem to be going reasonably well.
The comedy is dry, sharp, and built from the gap between the credentials and the reality.
