About Eureka Nkese

I am a passionate conceptual copywriter who loves to nail a good radio script. I describe my writing as "through the line and outside the box". I love digital, and I think integrated. I have a passion for creating work that resonates with my audience, and I use my gift of humour to create work that is loved by both the audience and my clients. Some of my happy clients include Game Stores, Netflix, FNB, Windhoek Beer and Lexus. I am a Comics' Choice Award-nominated stand-up comedian with 10+ years of experience. I have self-produced three comedy specials that I have performed in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and the Grahamstown Arts Festival. I have opened for the best stand-up comedians in the country, including Loyiso Gola, Nik Rabinowitz & Skhumba Hlophe, to name but a few. I have had critically acclaimed performances at some of the country's biggest stand-up comedy shows & art festivals. I am an award-winning voice-over artist for both television and radio advertisements. My voice has been described as bright and conversational. My talents as a performing artist and my innate comedic timing have allowed me to be one of the most sought after actors in South Africa. I specialise in character, medium and hard-sell delivery.
