Schalk Bezuidenhout Returns With His Latest Show KEEPING UP
Kempton Park born Schalk Bezuidenhout has been in stand-up since April 2011, and since then has been woke – seriously woke.

Times: 7:30pm
Venue: Theatre on the Square, Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton

Jason Goliath’s One-Man Comedy Show DALA WHAT YOU MUST, IT IS WHAT IT IS
DALA WHAT YOU MUST, IT IS WHAT IT IS, is inspired by the most important word Jason grasped during lockdown; ‘acceptance’ and will include unfiltered, never-before-heard anecdotes about his life, his journey, uncomfortable truths and how he learnt to “Dala” (do) what he had to, to persevere. Take this show as an opportunity to get out of the house, rekindle with old friends or take a break from the kids. But more importantly, come and share what you have been going through and see that you are not alone…. all this, while laughing! There is no better therapy.
