Boundless energy and earthy charm, coupled with an animated and fluent use of English, Xhosa and Afrikaans, initially endeared this white farm boy from Plumstead-West to millions of South African television viewers as the multi-lingual presenter of SABC 1's Coca-Cola Megamillions Gameshow.

He later demonstrated his versatility by becoming M-Web's big black box guy – surfing trains in lycra bodysuits and persuading large female traffic cops to pop into the post-office for his Gran.

However it was his skill as a stand-up comedian that took South African audiences and critics by storm and a loyal and appreciative fan base quickly grew. His fourth and most recent one-man show "IN THE NIK" enjoyed a sell-out season, as well as great critical success.

The Star summed up Nik's appeal as follows: "What Johnny Clegg has done for popularising Zulu indlamu and maskandi with a broader audience - Nik Rabinowitz achieves for language… He paints a crazy, seductively irreverent, broad canvas of who we are, voetstoots. And that's totally ngca!"

He was awarded 2008 STAND UP OF THE YEAR at the SA Comedy Awards.
