The adventures of Leon Loots
The Adventures of Leon Loots
Comedy | Satire | Proudly South African
Meet Leon Loots; barefoot philosopher, reluctant romantic, seasoned survivor of dodgy padstals, potholes, and pub fights. With nothing but his dented Toyota Tazz, a cooler box full of questionable biltong, and a gift for landing himself in the most kak funny situations imaginable, Leon wanders South Africa in search of answers, adventure, and the occasional ice-cold Black Label.
This laugh-out-loud series captures the hilarious chaos of life in small towns, broken roads, and even more broken people. Whether he's dodging church bazaar drama in Kak Funny, or getting properly Moer and Gone in the Karoo with a butcher named Braaipakkie, and a sheep named Boeta — Leon Loots is the everyman you didn’t know you needed.
Book 1: Kak Funny
A collection of short stories so wrong, they feel right. Think Boet meets Bukowski with a dash of RSG drama and Sunday roast chaos. Each tale is wrapped in dust, brandy, and badly made decisions.
Book 2: Moer and Gone
Leon hits the open road… and it hits back. A cross-country comedy about getting lost, finding strange friends, and learning that sometimes the destination really is less important than the next pub.
