Joey Rasdien Unfiltered: 25 Years of Comedy, Controversy & Life Lessons

He's made South Africans laugh for more than two decades, but there's much more to Joey Rasdien than the jokes. In this episode of The Sias du Plessis Show, we sit down with one of South Africa's most recognisable comedians and actors to explore the remarkable journey of Yusuf "Joey" Rasdien. From walking away from a successful career in finance to becoming a household name through The Pure Monate Show, Bunny Chow and Material, Joey reflects on the moments that shaped his career and the extraordinary generation of South African comedians he came through with. But behind the laughter is a deeply personal story of love, loss, fatherhood, controversy and reinvention. Now 50, Joey opens up about getting older, prioritising his health, the changing world of comedy and what really matters when the spotlight fades. It's an honest, entertaining and thought-provoking conversation about taking risks, finding your purpose and learning to laugh through life's toughest moments.
