Trevor Gumbi joins Carol Ofori at East Coast Radio for a chat
"My career basically started from comedy and I would say stand-up comedy is my first love..." - Trevor Gumbi.
Carol Ofori and the team were delighted to welcome the legendary Trevor Gumbi into the East Coast Radio studios last week.
"Trevor Gumbi is a South African comedian, writer, and actor best known as the co-host (and voice-over artist) of the Mzansi Magic entertainment magazine show Headline (2010-2013) and for his active and vocal Twitter account." (Owen S Management)
Hailed as a Twitter King, Trevor was voted into this title in Cosmopolitan magazine’s January 2011 issue. He undoubtedly continues to keep up with this title with his sharp wit and ability to incorporate his personal experiences into his comedy.
Trevor Gumbi shared that he has a personal formula for comedy, which goes like this, "Pain+Time = Funny".
He went on to say that he has reached a point in his life where he can speak about his experiences, painful or otherwise, and make fun of them. Gumbi admits that he is constantly evolving, and he openly talked about his diagnosis of depression and how he deals with this in his life and career.
It was humbling to hear this KZN-born Comedian speak about his triumphant journey with comedy.
