This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Nic Smal and Gareth Allison provide light-hearted entertainment and a parody performance to wrap up the day with smiles.

Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues have made waves both locally & internationally with their unique brand of comedy, using YouTube as their platform of choice. Known for their tongue-in-cheek parody music videos ("Braaiday", "The Car Guard Song", "Movember Song" and most recently “Hipsters & Hashtags”) as well as their original animated series ("Chat Sandwich", "Hippo & Croc"), their work has been featured on sites such as TIME Magazine, Huffington Post, The Telegraph and Will Ferrell's Funny or Die. They were also adjudged by Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee as winners of the international Movember video competition in 2012, beating out hundreds of entrants worldwide. 

The duo, consisting of Nicholas Smal & Gareth Allison, recently signed with Los Angeles-based network The Collective, and have worked with local favourites Ard Matthews, Dr. Michael Mol, Rob van Vuuren & even Derek Watts himself on some of their videos.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
