Comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout

Schalk Bezuidenhout is one of South Africa’s most loved comedians, known for his unmistakable moustache, furry afro and brilliantly energetic take on life. From his humble beginnings in Kempton Park—where English was mostly used in self-defence—to stages around South Africa and across the world, Schalk has built a reputation for sharp observations, unforgettable storytelling and a warm, wildly funny stage presence. Since starting stand-up in 2011 (and surviving his first paid gig at a strip club in Kempton Park), he has performed alongside some of the biggest names in comedy and become a firm favourite with audiences of all kinds. Expect a high-energy night of comedy from a performer who knows exactly how to turn everyday South African life into something hilariously unforgettable.
