The smash-hit cult comedy phenomenon is back - Corné and Twakkie return with a vengeance to moer the audiences' funny bones to hell and gone. Believe it because it's true.
The ditzy duo last performed at the Baxter in 2007. The Most Amazing Show has toured extensively since then, continually venturing into uncharted territories of mad genius absurdity whilst churning out a hugely popular television show.
The live show is a terrifying life-changing experience of comic hysteria presented with their unique blend of stand-up comedy, satire and audience participation. "You will laugh till your faceballs explode. You will never be the same again," cautioned Twakkie.
"We are overjoyed to be returning to our favourite stage," said Corné. "We have been working for months in our top-secret comedy laboratories in Kraaifontein to make sure we bring the people of the Western Cape the most amazing Most Amazing Show ever. Bigger, better and funnier than ever."
Corné, aka The Love Captain or Love Doctor, promises to heal even Helen Zille's broken heart and reckons that "if you don't love this show, you are probably Julius Malema".
South African Info described them best by saying: "They're like a bad 1970s' flashback: mullets, insane facial hair, tight shiny shorts last worn on a high-school hockey pitch in 1974, and wonderfully mangled SA English. If you're not South African, you'll probably find them scary. If you are you'll find them scary anyway, but you'll laugh a lot too. As they would say, Corné and Twakkie are totally not kak."
The irrepressible duo combine clowning, witty semantics and a quirky sense of humour. Their insight into archetypal South African characters has resulted in personas that are both outrageous and totally believable. Believe it "cause it's true".
