This short but punchy excerpt from Marc Lottering’s hit show Not in 3D captures the comedian at his finest—animated, authentic, and utterly hilarious. With his signature blend of charisma and cultural insight, Marc launches into an observational bit that paints everyday South African life in vivid, comedic detail.
The clip opens with Marc interacting naturally with the audience, setting up a story that instantly resonates with his trademark Cape Flats flair. Within seconds, the crowd is roaring—his timing razor-sharp, his expressions perfectly exaggerated. He weaves humor out of the smallest social nuances: the way people talk, behave, or navigate awkward situations. His delivery—equal parts theatrical and conversational—gives the sense that you’re sharing a laugh with an old friend who just happens to be world-class at it.

This clip may be brief, but it captures the essence of his comedic genius—relatable, rhythmically sharp, and joyfully human.
In Ugly Newborns, Marc Lottering delivers a perfectly crafted slice of observational comedy that’s both bold and brutally funny. The clip opens with his signature mischievous grin as he dives straight into a universal truth few dare to say out loud: not all babies are cute.

He describes the awkward social dance that happens when someone proudly shows off a newborn who, well, hasn’t quite “grown into their face yet.” His exaggerated facial expressions and voice inflections—equal parts scandalized and sympathetic—send the room into waves of laughter.
What makes the bit so effective isn’t just the punchline, but the relatability behind it. Everyone knows that moment, and Marc says exactly what everyone’s thinking but would never dare admit. His charm and warmth keep the joke playful rather than mean-spirited, balancing truth with pure comedic instinct.
