Schalk Bezuidenhout – Voksbesit

By

Schalk BezuidenhoutHe is the most exciting, enticing new voice in stand-up comedy in South Africa and has become known for his strange little jerseys, bush of brown locks and his razor sharp tongue. He has people hanging on his lips for more of his funniness, and this June he is headed to The Bay.

Catch Schalk Bezuidenhout at the Boardwalk’s Amphitheatre on 22 June for the first time ever as he brings loads of red-faced laughs with his one-man show, Voksbesit. Schalk has travelled throughout the country with this show, bringing laughter to various audiences.

Schalk originates from Kempton Park and, since appearing on Trevor Noah’s show in 2015 and again in 2017, and also after having appeared in a solo stand-up on Comedy Central on DSTV, he has seen a massive increase in fans and stardom and has become somewhat of a household name in South Africa.

This funny man has also won two Comics Choice awards as well as a SAFTA and has become a very familiar face on television as he assumes the role of Danny in the kykNET series called Hotel, and as news anchor in the satirical news show, Die Ware Naarheid met Schalk Bezuidenhout, also on kykNET.

Schalk has made comedy lovers laugh uncontrollably all over SA with his tours to the Woordfees, KKNK, Vrystaat Kunstefees, Innibos and Aardklop with Voksbesit. He also recorded a DVD at Evita’s Perron in Darling in October last year.

In need of a good laugh? In the mood to giggle till it hurts? Be sure to catch Schalk at the Boardwalk’s Amphitheatre with his witty observations and social comments about life. Guaranteed to provoke various emotions of which laughter is the most intense, Voksbesit is the show you do not want to miss.
