PLAZA: Apart from skinniness, we don't have any similarities. He is a good story teller hence his jokes are mostly based on storytelling while I believe in punch lines.

BALESH: Good, I always hear people get stage fright during their first performances, how was your experience?

PLAZA: yhoo it wasn't easy it felt like my last day on earth but support and courage that I got from other comedians help to overcome fright, but I think most it causes by over thinking.

BALESH: Talking of being given courage by other comedians, who have you shared a stage with? PLAZA: I shared stage with so many comedians the like of Thabang ER, Mduduzi,Noko Moswete,Thapelo kingflat and salesman

PLAZA: I can say he is good motivation to upcoming comedians like me, he shown us that it is possible and we must never let where we come from to limit our potential

BALESH: Amazing.. Apart from comedy, what else can you do? BALESH: Rectified

PLAZA: I used to play soccer when I was bit young; I believe if I followed that path, I would be playing for one of PSL teams. I'm really a good goalkeeper; hence I now grab the mic on stages "Laughs"

BALESH: Haha with that height, I believe you.. So where do you see yourself in 5 years to come? BALESH: Rectified

PLAZA: I don't wanna put myself under pressure, so I take things slowly or one day at a time. 5 years is too long so I'll be preparing myself for greater heights as an upcoming comedian.
