For those who aren’t yet acquainted with Hirsch, we pinned down the brilliant South African comedian and asked her five essential questions:
1. For those who don’t know, who is Anne Hirsch?
I’m an actor, comedian and writer. Born ‘n bred in Bloemfontein, but I studied Drama at Stellenbosch University, with a postgrad from UCT in Theatre and Performance. I now live in the beautiful city of Cape Town.
2. We loved your interview with Helen Zille. What are your thoughts on the upcoming elections?
I’m honoured to live in a country with free and fair elections and I look forward to making my mark on the ballot. Also, it’s just a super fun day out and a great opportunity to spot some celebs in those voting queues.

3. Have any of your interviews gone terribly wrong – like a subject not quite getting the humour?
I think ALL of my interviews go terribly wrong, but in a good way (I hope). Most celebs think I’m joking when I wait for them afterwards in the car park though…but I’m not.

4. What do you think makes South African humour so wonderful?
We live in such a diverse and unique country where wonderful but also terrifying and strange things happen daily. We might be surrounded by burglar bars, but I think we’ve developed a very sophisticated sense of humour as a way to deal with it all. Not only can South Africans laugh at the everyday craziness of the country but, most importantly we can laugh at ourselves. It’s a wonderful time for comedy in SA!
5. Where can people watch your show?
The Anne Hirsch Show – South Africa’s number one (s)talk show, is available weekly on our Youtube Channel and you can subscribe here https://www.youtube.com/user/theannehirschshow
