Schalk Bezuidenhout returns to Baxter Theatre

The hilarious and award-winning stand-up comedian recently debuted the show at the Golden Arrow Studio Theatre to a sold out run.

“The Golden Arrow Studio run exceeded all my expectations. It was so lekker that the Baxter has invited me back to do another run of the show in October at the Main theatre, which is any comedian on my level’s dream! Get tickets for ‘Second Language’ soon, you don’t want to be that person who has to watch the show on DVD because you didn’t get tickets. Did I mention that we’re shooting a DVD?” adds Schalk.
This talented youngster brings his wild ‘fro’ to the stage as he explores his conservative upbringing in Kempton Park (Johannesburg) with his current liberal outlook on life.

Schalk Bezuidenhout is one of South Africa’s best young comedians and has genuinely made an impact in the comedy world. In the few short years that he has been on the comedy scene, Schalk has won two Comics Choice Awards and has opened for Trevor Noah.
