Event information
Comedian Nate Levinrad brings his debut solo show, Takeaways, to The Antique Theatre & Bar, directed by South African comedy figure Conrad Koch. Levinrad was named among the 20 funniest new comedians in the country through the Savanna Comics' Choice Newcomers Showcase and co-created the Cape Town comedy platform That's Not Funny.
The show draws on Levinrad's experience growing up white and liberal in a conservative small town, with an isiXhosa second name and lefty parents shaping a childhood he describes as already complicated before adulthood added addiction and family history into the mix. The material blends fearless personal storytelling with stand-up rather than working from a conventional joke-driven structure.
Levinrad developed the show following an appearance at the National Arts Festival earlier in the year, and has performed it previously at Ground Culture in Observatory before this run at The Antique.
