ALAN DROP                                   Stand Up Comedian and Public SpeaKER
          SOUTH AFRICA
​                                                Stranger than Fiction


  This show uses true stories from South Africa to bring the history and politics alive.  It focuses on  the humans who lived through apartheid  and beyond. 

It includes the story of

 
   -  the woman who helped a prisoner escape during the Mandela trial
   - how oppressive laws gave birth to township jazz
   - why Robben Island was called the University of the South
   - how the British created the system that led to apartheid
   - how a fishing trip gone wrong played a key role in moving towards democracy
 
 Alan Drop was born in Durban, which some claim is the most   multicultural city in the world.  He was involved in the anti-apartheid   movement and worked in SA as a journalist and teacher.  He believes that, “To get to the heart of a culture you have to go beyond facts and statistics, into the incredible stories of the people who live through it.”
 
He takes a break from his main job as a stand up comedian to share these fascinating, emotional, bizarre and sometimes uplifting stories.
