Nina Hastie is quite clearly one smart comedienne. She is undoubtedly one of SA’s top female comic and Pretoria’s finest comics. Nina confidently sashays onto stage with bounce and style, yet you can already feel the edginess oozing off her before she’s said a word. When she opens her mouth her material backs up the image in originality, and razor sharp observation and you immediately feel like you’re in the presence of someone who could easily be amongst the best.
Hastie has performed at major theatres around the country such as The State Theatre, Wits Theatre and Joburg Theatre. She has headlined comedy festivals such as The Tshwane Comedy Festival, Soweto Comedy Festival, the Wits Comedy Festival and The Nandos Comedy Festival.
