ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Jaryd Pillay first hit the stage when he was only 17 years old and has never looked back. He has performed all over the country, including at Rocking the Daisies and at Comedy Mixtape on SABC 2.
He has a Live Performance BA degree. He presents the tales of a millennial (himself) who navigates an identity crisis, and authentically brings to life the many characters who have challenged his very existence.
His debut one-man show, Life of Pillay, caught the eyes of the critics at the Arts Festival in 2018.
In his latest compelling and hilarious hour special Passion of the Curry, Jaryd explores avenues of cultural displacement. He recalls his realization that, as a proud Indian descendent, he shouldn’t be eating curry with a fork and knife, his redemption for his teenage sins, and those Facebook memories that we wish we didn’t recall…
