(Casper De Vries)
Casper De
Vries will be bringing his wicked sense of humour, along with that of three
accomplished accomplices, to The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway with one show only
of CasperNades on March 8.
CasperNades is a bilingual 90 minute, laugh-a-minute improv comedy, that
has enjoyed successful performances nationally. Now funnier than ever, Casper
De Vries will be joined by Hannes Muller, André Schwartz and Karen Wessels.
With it being an improvised show, audiences are guaranteed that every CasperNades
performance offered is different from any other ever seen.
Razor
sharp satire is the trademark of comedian, writer, actor and humourist Casper
De Vries. One of the best Afrikaans comedians, his powerful stage presence,
inventive humour and outspoken views combine into one comic tour de force that has held audiences
transfixed from Pretoria to the London Palladium. Humanity, religion, the
absurdity of human existence and the crazy world we live in all come – nothing
is safe from De Vries’ piercing gaze. Not afraid to send up any subject under
the sun, De Vries happily tramples over taboos, ensuring that no holy cow
escapes his scrutiny.
Hannes
Muller is no stranger to the entertainment industry, with a long list of
theatre, television and film performances under his belt; but he is best known
for his Naledi Award nominated performance in Groet Die Grotman.
André Schwartz has
a well-established career in the entertainment industry, mostly in the music,
musical theatre and television presenting spheres. André has only ever played
the lead in the musical theatre productions he’s performed in (most recently Phantom
of the Opera), so it’ll be interesting seeing him share the limelight.
The last in the line-up for the evening is the rose
among the thorns, Karen Wessels. Karen has become a household name
for her roles in Egoli, Begeertes and Song Vir Katryn. She also
has a long history with Casper, having been the very popular Orpa in Haak
& Steek.
This
hilarious improv presentation is up there with television shows like Proesstraat
and Whose Line Is It Anyway. Some of the topics touched on during CasperNades contain adult content
(so there is a recommended age restriction of 16), but rest assured that the
evening will offer good, light entertainment.
CasperNades has one performance on March 8. Tickets
R180 pp. For bookings and enquiries, phone The
