Meet the comic: Michael Kossew

Michael Kossew was born in South Africa and has been travelling since. In keeping with the best traditions of Jewish comedy, Michael’s style is provocative and not afraid to take risks. His well travelled background provides much of the inspiration for this hilarious set where he will explore themes as varied as Jewish holidays, Irish mysticism and golden showers.
Onscreen Michael plays that much loved and revered of Catalan characters, the Caganer*. A natural in the role we are wondering how long comedy can hold on to this talent as the Generalitat are sure to want to sign him up for future promotional projects. The future arse of Catalonia, who knows.

(*) The Caganer is a well loved figure in the typical Catalan Nativity scene. Literally translated from Catalan it means “The Shitting Man”. It’s believed that with his fertile depositions on the soil will become rich and productive for the coming year!
