Siv Ngesi Uncensored: Comedy, Politics & Periods

For our very first episode, we sit down with the one and only Siv Ngesi — award-winning comedian, actor, producer, and unapologetic truth-teller. Known for his bold personality and ability to spark meaningful conversations, Siv takes us on a wild ride through laughter, loss, and lessons learned along the way.

From his early years to his rise in the entertainment world, Siv shares how he’s navigating life after turning 40, the power of collaboration, and why it’s okay not to be okay. We dive into his trailblazing work with the Menstruation Foundation, his fearless takes on South African politics, and why he believes we all have a role to play in creating real change. We explore generational differences, how social media has shaped Gen Z, and the importance of perspective when facing life’s ups and downs.

This conversation is raw, hilarious, and deeply human — setting the tone for everything we hope this podcast will be: real stories, big laughs, and conversations that inspire.
