Not everyone with the gift of humour has the ability to make people laugh until their stomach hurts. Being able to bring so much joy and comedic relief is truly a superpower like no other.
Meet the Goliaths: Jason, his sister Kate and their cousin Nicholas share more than just a last name - they share a love for laughter and uplifting content. Donovan, despite his last name, isn't related by blood but he's been a vital part of the Goliath comedy empire since they all became one unit in 2011. Today, they make up G&G, a family business like no other, bonded by dynamic chemistry and a fresh take on comedy that makes them stand out in the South African entertainment scene.
More than just a name
Growing up in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, Jason, Kate and Nicholas spent most of their time in a close-knit environment. Family was always important to them.
"I sometimes think the reason we spent so much time together was to laugh," Nicholas says. "Everybody I grew up with was funny... finding joy in making people laugh is something I think we've always just had in us."
Jason and Nicholas started doing stand-up comedy on 3 July 2011 at The Comedy Underground in Melville. A week later, they met Donovan (from Mthatha in the Eastern Cape), who was new in the comedy industry. Everything began to align.
