Episode 88 - Conrad Koch
Manage episode 285367100 series 2650476
Conrad Koch is a comedian and ventriloquist with a background in anthropology. You probably know Chester Missing, one of Conrad's creations who has come to take on a life of his own in the public eye, but you probably don't know that Chester has existed in some form or another for over 2 decades.
In this episode, we learn how one starts talking to themselves as a career. We get into how Conrad balances his corporate comedy act that pays the bills and his more challenging work that gets him sued. We take a deep dive into the history and identity of Chester, and the backlash that Conrad has received for it. We hear about the early days of the Cape Town comedy scene and how he and Chester came to work for LNN with Loyiso Gola, which helped skyrocket the character to national recognition. Enjoy.
