Hale Centre Theatre is a family theatre located in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. Offering a World Class theatre experience in an atmosphere the whole family can enjoy.

I come from a long line of storytellers and bards who forge epics woven from words spun together like koeksisters on any Sunday afternoon, in any chicken curry-imbued home on the Cape Flats. I come from pre-Netflix family gatherings, where after lunch, huddled between an array of milk tarts, ashtrays and beer bellies - I received first-hand the storyteller’s institution like no other. I come from a well-traveled sailor who fell for a small town tennis champ in the thick of a divided country - an offspring of two colourful giants who, in a black-and-white world, were never given the world as their oyster. Their platform was a kitchen table, their microphone a teapot and their protagonists - friends, relatives and the highlight reel of lives fully, if not richly lived. 

How mom and dad, aunty So-and-so and uncle Whatchamacallit could rote-recite their anecdotes from years gone by, talk all night and drive home, barely exhausted at daybreak was beyond the scope of my little brain. But these gatherings - these meetings of the tribespeople, had become my mainstay. Even through the clickety-clack of tiny fingers on a Sega Mega Drive, fascinated by a 16-bit blue hedgehog collecting rings on my Ouma’s static-adorned TV, I could hear them in the next room - the elders like a Greek chorus ululating a hilarious cacophony of parables and old wives tales. Here they would recite narratives about which classmate married whom and where they live now, as if in one voice they conspired to write the manuscript to some bad novella.

And by way of osmosis, I absorbed a generation’s worth of tall tales, struggle stories and small town genealogies. So, as my obsession grew, wrapping it’s fingers around my DNA like a lover’s embrace - the storyteller’s gift fell to me on a not-so-easily-defined life and career trajectory.

So for as long as I can remember, this preoccupation with characters and backstory, with subtext and plot conjures in me seeds of ideas, many of which manifest into songs, stage shows, music albums, podcasts, poems, articles and blog posts. Story is what has carried me, the last bastion of innocence in a world that prematurely births realistic thinking from childhood fantasies.

“...he views the world through a different set of lenses. This, coupled with his borderline obsession with lyricism and word play, makes him a formidable storyteller...Between his pragmatic mind and creative spirit, Josh forms part of the rarest types of people, the intellectual creative." - Jarrod Morkel, Director | The Cognative Design Solution.

Utilising a combination of catchy, sing-along melodies, penetrating lyrics, searing rap vocals and a poignant live show – Fruit Vendor creates a fresh sound that appeals to a diverse audience.

Fruit Vendor’s work is nestled firmly between the socially conscious protest songs of yesteryear, carefully crafted to deconstruct listeners’ pre-conceptions by leading them in with heart-warming acoustic soul and his pure vocal delivery, only to sprinkle them with a dash of percussive rap that leaves no stone unturned. 

In 2014, he won first place in Music Experience’s Cape Town Folk ‘n Acoustic Music Festival competition. A year later at the festival, he was singled-out and commended by David Kramer for possessing a “fresh sound” as an artist whose work contains a good balance between serious and comedic subject matter. Kramer also praised his use of audience interaction. This was mirrored by Real Wired Music founder and SAMA nominated jazz musician Gavin Minter, “(Fruit Vendor) brought something totally new and fresh to the table, unlike anything else we have heard before. He included a folky spoken word element that really impressed us.” 

In addition, Alma Café’s Richard Tait has called him “…the most complete performer I’ve had the privilege of watching. His guitar playing, singing, songwriting and even his banter is exceptionally good.”

In 2015 he won the Western Cape leg of the South African Artist Development Association’s nationwide talent competition.

He has played at numerous events and festivals around South Africa and has shared stages with David Kramer, Die Antwoord, Kahn Morbee (The Parlotones), Prime Circle, Karen Zoid, Sipho "Hotstix" Mabuse, Matthew Mole, aKing, Hemel Besem, Albert Frost, Adriaan Brand (Springbok Nude Girls), Tony Cox, Jitsvinger, Melanie Scholtz, Tribal Echo, Majozi, Richard Stirton, Zoe Modiga, Lana Crowster, Donovan Copley (Hotwater), Paige Mac, Siphokazi Jonas, Eden Myrrh, Alysia Harris (USA) and Chris Redmond (UK).

His debut EP entitled “Giants” was released independently in 2016.
