When I'm not working I'm

... with my fiancée trying to plan our wedding and talking to my fans and new friends on www.myspace.com/davidkau page myspace.com/davidkau page, or stuck in traffic.

How would you describe your comedic style

... I personally can't describe my comedy. I talk about everything from myself to whatever is happening in my life at that time, current affairs, most of the time politics. Some people say it's dry humour and when they say that I have no idea what they are trying to say. Some people walk up to me and say Wa kula (you're sick). Some say, you're very funny, I didn't get your name.

My secret passion is

... If I tell you then it won't be a secret any more.

My most embarrassing moment was when

... every time someone tries to tell me a joke, and it's a joke that a friend of mine, or another comedian whom I know, tells, and the people get it wrong. I just wait for them to finish and smile.

The best thing about South Africa is

... South African comedy audiences, clean water and electricity (I've been to Lagos), taxi drivers (I've been to Lagos), credit cards (I've been to Lagos), the weather (I've been to London), the beautiful women (I've been to London), the SAPS (I've been to Mozambique), my family and friends and my babes (girlfriend /fiancée/ future wife /mother of my kids).

... Yes! Because I'm probably asking myself how in the hell did I think of such.

A common misconception about me is

... Ke ja nyoko (I'm loaded)!

A phrase I use too often is

... Moeskon!

I'm terrible when it comes to

... Finishing any playstation games, watching all of the DVDs I've bought.

... People who borrow my DVDs and don't bring them back. If whoever has my Chappelle Show season 1 is reading this - bring it back!

In a nutshell, my philosophy is

... I've never woken up and thought: "Oh shit! I misplaced my philosophy. What am I going to do now?" ... my philosophy is, I'm not a philosopher.
