Felix Hlophe Celebrates His Birthday On November 11
Felix Hlope was born on November 11 in Pretoria, South Africa. The particular year he was born is not public knowledge, and not only that, there is no available information about his family background, ethnicity, and childhood. However, he is believed to have been born in the late 1970s.
It is not known if the comedian is an only child as he hardly talks about his family members and life before fame. He is believed to have spent most of his life in Pretoria, where he was born. It is said that his parents have been supportive of his career from his early days.
They played important roles in building his career from scratch to the enviable height he is now. Comedian Hlope had his primary education in his birth region, after which he began studies at St. Francis’ College (Mariannhill Secondary Independent School) in the Mariannhill area of KwaZulu-Natal.
It is unknown if he went to a university after graduating from St Francis’ College. There is no detailed information about the comedian’s early career days as he hasn’t shared this part of his career journey.
He Makes A Living From Various Lucrative Sources
Hlope wears various hats; he is a standup comedian, professional MC, compere, radio presenter, and businessman. Felix began his career at local nightclubs as a comedian, where he entertained large audiences and also won thousands of loyal fans to his side.
On his Facebook page, the comedian also mentioned that he worked at Quest Flexible Staffing Solutions. However, there is no further information about his time at the firm, and it’s unknown whether he did other jobs before he rose to stardom.
Mr. Hlope currently works at the popular South African radio station Gangasi 99.5 FM. However, he previously worked at VUMA 103 FM as a radio presenter and his time on the station was nothing short of incredible.
He anchored and presented several programmes at Vusi FM and was greatly loved for his comic side. Ever since he joined Gagasi FM, he’s been doing an amazing job. Many listeners tune in every time he comes on air, and his shows are always entertaining, educative, and thrilling.
Currently, he anchors the provocative, funny, and informative breakfast show The Uprising alongside social activist Njabs Zwane. The show’s traffic contributor is none other than the sensational South African actor Khaya Dladla who offers a lot of flamboyance and color to the show.
Felix Hlophe became a sensation through his standup comedy routine. He mostly performs in isiZulu, which is his native language and has graced several stages in South Africa. Some notable events he has performed at are the Hallelujah Comedy Show at The Playhouse and 99% Zulu Comedy.
The comedian’s career got the needed boost recently after his successful outing in his most recent standup comedy show captioned: I Hate My Wife and Bad Teacher. It is definitely impossible not to notice Hlope’s comedy talents, and how he presents and anchor shows on the radio.
He is definitely one of the best brains in the industry right now. However, he is yet to win industry awards for his roles and contributions to the development of the South African comedy world.
