Once upon a time this laid back comic was a computer geek. He had a real day job, while building his late night career as a stand-up comic. While working 8 to 5 in the computer industry and later in the banking industry, Tshepo worked the circuit, from dingy, low lit, dodgy venues to university tours to the world class Smirnoff.
One of the original 25 comics who became the Cape Comedy Collective, Tshepo Mogale, along with his partners in stand-up, fast became one of our favorite exports to international comedy shows like the Smirnoff. At the Laugh Out Loud comedy festival in 2002 laughter rocked the nation as Tshepo performed to a 7 000 strong crowd.
He's still a working comic, but now he's doing what he loves 24/7. Apart from his busy schedule on the comedy circuit, he's in demand as a corporate MC and entertainer. And he writes for the Pure Monate Show, the most popular show among black youth. He's also a well known and popular screen actor, voice artist and has a gold selling musical comedy CD on the shelves, under his alias Skypos.
