Corrie Campbell

Brendan Grealy has created a uniquely South African character in the guise of Corrie Campbell Postmaster of the Nuga Moya Post Office. His fictional persona is instantly recognisable as a comic South African stereotype, whose innocent lack of malice allows him to voice profound truths about human nature with unwitting humour and engaging honesty.
His highly entertaining presentation – "Beyond the Box" - is a refreshingly different look at attitudes to change, the habit of classifying people by pigeon-holing them, the delicate art of listening, and the challenge of working constructively and harmoniously in a multi—cultural environment.
Corrie Campbell’s appeal as the common man is limitless. In laughing partly with him and partly at his recognizable foibles, there is scope for a real connection with audiences, as we struggle with the inevitable and sometimes radical changes necessitated by transformation.
