South Africa’s Good Things Guy on a mission to change the narrative, one good story at a time.
Dalin Oliver is an international award winning South African comedian, award nominated radio sports broadcaster and podcaster. The Cape Town based former teacher turned laughter specialist boasts a clean cut, energetic and charming brand of comedy which is easily accessible & relatable to people from all walks of life.
2024 Kicked off with a bang. Oliver is fresh from making his debut at Fringe World in Perth, one of
the world’s biggest Fringe Festivals, where his one man show, 90 Day Comedian, won a weekly
award for Best Comedy. Upon returning home, he was blown away with the news that he
received three Comics Choice Awards nominations.
These accolades were awarded on the back end of his 5-city tour of Australia where he delivered
gags tight enough to get pass border control in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast & Brisbane.
He left the Aussie locals begging for more and managed a total of 91 performances during his 8-
week tour Down Under.
The National Arts Festival Standard Bank Ovation Award Winner’s finest work has been enjoyed on Showmax, DSTv, Comedy Central Africa and in cinemas nationwide. Other career highlights include five one man shows, two filmed stand-up comedy specials, performances at the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival, Johannesburg International Comedy Festival as well as in Toronto Canada with the award-winning Ensemble show; Day Zero: The Water Shortage Comedy Tour.
With more than 10 years in stand-up comedy and sports broadcasting, Dalin always managed to merge the two worlds extremely well. He hosted his own sports talk show, The Late Late Tackle with Dalin Oliver, a six-part limited series that aired on MTN’s BokSquad, the official home of Springbok fans. The show launched ahead of the team’s departure for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
He was also a familiar voice on Cape Town’s airwaves as the Sports Presenter on Good Hope FM’s Breakfast Show. His vibrant delivery and sharp comedic timing earned him a nomination for Sports Presenter of the Year, along with a Best Breakfast Show nomination at the 2023 SA Radio Awards.
He also forms one half of Non-Travelling Reserves, a sports podcast balanced with facts, comedy, and banter between friends, which was recognised at the 2023 DSTV Content Creator Awards with a Podcast of the Year nomination.
When the dynamic performer is not on stage or on-air, he can be found rocking the mic at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, ICC men’s u19 Cricket World Cup, Netball World Cup, SA20 and with the MI Cape Town, DHL Stormers and Springboks family.
