Born in a converted barn on the slopes of Constantiaberg, comedian and mountain-farm-boy-Jew Nik Rabinowitz grew up climbing trees, commentating on his own rugby games in three official languages, and attending a Waldorf school – where he learned to crochet his feelings and divine the precise spiritual frequency of organic fair-trade mohair (using only a pentatonic Flute and a watercolor of a gnome).
