Callum Hitchcock is a rising star of South African comedy, dosed up on whatever TikTok is prescribing for ADHD, armed with a Political Science “degree” and a superiority complex. He’s a man who is ready to performatively admit that he can see how he’s been performing vulnerability for applause. (But like… in a clever way.) In Almost Sex Jokes, Callum stares down the shame, guilt, and inherited weirdness of being a white South African with too many tabs open. It’s a brutally funny, unexpectedly honest, and occasionally profound dive into everything he’s been too embarrassed to say until now — about love, power, porn, race, ambition, depression, and the maddening pursuit of being liked. This is not a show about sex. It’s a show about almost everything — identity, intimacy, inaction, and the absurdity of trying to live a meaningful life when nothing really means anything (unless you say it does). It’s witty, messy and sincere. It’s almost what you think it is. Come for the jokes. Stay for the existential reckoning. Laugh like your therapist isn’t watching.

ABOUT CALLUM HITCHCOCK Callum Hitchcock is an award-winning comedian known for his sharp wit, self-aware humor, and ability to find absurdity in everything. After winning the 2024 Savanna Newcomer of the Year Award, he’s been billed as a rising star in the South African comedy scene, having performed on stages nationwide with his offbeat perspective and thought-provoking punchlines. Callum has featured on Comedy Central’s ‘Savanna Comedy Bar’, been a regular on the ‘Comedy Report’ segment of the popular eTV show, ‘The Last Word with Shahan Ramkissoon’ and he’s also a regular player on the SAFTA-winning web-series, Politically Aweh. Callum’s debut solo show, Almost S*x Jokes, is set to premiere with a work-in-progress show at Ground Culture Cafe’ in Observatory Cape Town on the 8th & 10th of May — promising a hilarious deep dive into love, modern contradictions, and existential dread. Beyond stand-up, he’s a sought-after comedy writer, MC, actor and just generally an attention-seeker across multiple mediums. When he’s not on stage, he’s perched at home with his wife, his cats and his sports-themed mugs. Follow him on social media for bad opinions on almost everything. ——- See you there! Almost dirty. Always funny. Never what you expect.
