Nominated for “Best Stand-up Comic of the Year” in 2007 at the SA Comedy Awards, and nominee in the 2006 “Fleur de Cap Theatre Award” for “Best Performance in a One-hander”, Newton is nothing short of a comedy chameleon. Able to manoeuvre from one audience to another, he always fits the bill.

David Newton is no stranger to the Grahamstown National Arts Festival either, with 5 festivals and 4 sold out shows under his belt. In 2009 Newton took it to another level by taking 3 different comedy shows & selling them all out making him the most successful comedian at Fest '09!

David made his TV presenting debut on SABC3’s Couch Trip (Big Blue Productions- who also created Going Nowhere Slowly), which ran for two seasons in 2006.

Nominated for “Best Stand-up Comic of the Year” in 2007 at the SA Comedy Awards, and nominee in the 2006 “Fleur de Cap Theatre Award” for “Best Performance in a One-hander”,  Newton is nothing short of a comedy chameloen.

GRIFF has wanted to be a comedian since he was three years old where his mother use to set up the seniors in The Convalescent Homes where she worked, in an audience typesetting and let her son make sleeping and comatose old people laugh. So after working the Geriatric Circuit for a couple of summers his destiny was settled. Since then, that little funny boy with the faith of a PLANET has made a name for himself as one of the leading comedians and On-Air Personalities in the Country by headlining across North America (including Canada), New Zealand, The U.K. and Africa.


With his quick wit and unsurpassed knowledge for sports news, “GRIFF” took sports took sports to the ‘next level’ with his comedic twist on athletes and their stories. In 1999 he received Georgia’s Sportcaster of the Year Award and in 2004 “Street Skillz”, a program he provided the color commentary for was nominated for an EMMY.


Ultimately, GRIFF is a Comedian, an On-Air Personality, an Author, an Actor, a Motivational Speaker, a Daddy, an EMMY nominated Sportscaster and a man who puts Jesus Christ ahead of all men all wrapped into one.
