The next best thing to experiencing something yourself is to hear people talk about their interests, sharing their experiences and stories. And the best stories are those that come from passion - striving to overcome obstacles on your way to succeeding in your chosen field, funny anecdotes, hardships endured. "Release The Geek" is our weekly forum to chat to people who are geeky about something - they could be successful, semi-so, or on their way to achieving a level of it but they've all got one thing in common - passion. Can't replicate it. And we want to share their experiences, their hurdles, their stories with the greater geek populace (or anyone who would care to).

Episode 3 - Comedy Geekery with Nqoba Ngcobo
His Comedy Central Africa profile has this to say: "Comedy Show Down winner, Nqoba Ngcobo is a unique oddity in the South African comedy scene, a comedian who does not rely on the tried and tested formula of racial stereo types as the basis of his material. Nqoba's witty and charismatic comedy is renowned for energetic delivery, brilliant observations, and poignant insights."
What do we say? He's just plain awesome. Stand-up comedian, actor, writer, MC and presenter, Nqoba joined us for an honest and hilarious chat where we talk comedy, Canada and condoms in a, not necessarily, mutual fashion.
