Schalk Bezuidenhout & Wesley van Der Westhuizen
90mins
Schalk Bezuidenhout kombineer Afrikaanse stand-up komedie met vlymskerp oorspronklike liedjies en musiek oor alles en nog wat. Hierdie optrede is deel van ’n uitgebreide toer in die Wes-Kaap van tien vertonings. Schalk mag dalk koor gesing het op skool en hy was selfs 'n Kanarie op die silwerdoek, maar die slotsom is: Schalk sing sleg. Of sing hy regtig sleg?
