Nina Hastie - Tangents Nina Hastie’s brand-new stand-up comedy show, Tangents, is a fast, fearless, deeply honest journey through the winding, looping, spectacular mess of being human and having a brain that refuses to stay on one topic at a time. With two decades in South African entertainment, a Netflix special, international creative awards, and a reputation for turning chaos into catharsis, Nina brings her most personal and funniest work to the stage yet. In Tangents, Nina tackles ADHD side-quests, romantic misadventures, identity crises, family drama, bad decisions, worse decisions, and all the delightful nonsense of living in South Africa. One moment she’s dissecting anxiety, the next she’s oversharing about romance, and somehow, magically, it all ties together. Or doesn’t. That’s the point. Expect sharp punchlines, unexpected emotional honesty, and Nina’s signature ability to make you feel seen while you’re doubled over laughing. It’s comedy with heart, humour with depth, and storytelling with absolutely no straight line. Get your friends, get your tickets, and get ready for a hilarious night of spirals, side-quests, and spectacular detours.
