From Cape Town classrooms to Joburg’s comedy stage

Dalin Oliver has worn many hats: high school teacher, radio sports broadcaster, podcaster, and now one of South Africa’s most recognisable stand-up comedians. This October, Joburg audiences will get the chance to see his latest one-man special, 90 Day Comedian, live at Poppy’s Restaurant in Cresta.

A comedy career shaped by the everyday

Oliver’s humour is known for its clean, energetic and charming style. He mines his material from ordinary experiences that cut across generations and backgrounds. Whether he’s riffing on life in South African classrooms, family dynamics, or the chaos of sport, his work is as relatable to a Joburg office worker as it is to a Durban student.

Since stepping out of teaching to pursue comedy full-time, Oliver has performed in nine countries and more than twenty cities beyond South Africa. His reputation has steadily grown, landing him award nominations for both stand-up and his work behind the mic as a sports broadcaster.

Why Joburgers are excited

Comedy lovers in Johannesburg have long embraced Oliver’s mix of sharp wit and accessible storytelling. On social media, fans have already been sharing excitement over his return, noting that his shows are as much about shared community moments as they are about punchlines. Poppy’s in Cresta, a cosy local venue well known for its laid-back atmosphere, provides the perfect setting for his brand of intimate but high-energy comedy.
