The name of a barbershop in a series of comedies, set in a Cape Town, written and performed by Oscar Petersen, David Isaacs and Heinrich Reisenhofer (1999-2010). Based on the shop of a real Cape Town barber, Mr Joseph Swain, who had named his shop “Joe Barber”, and had become the inspiration for the series of hits plays by the same name. Swain played a key role supporting performances of the plays and it became tradition that on the last performance of every season he would take his bow at the end of the show. (See Part 3 Section 4: Plays)
