Sibaya Casino and
Entertainment Kingdom has pinned down Chris Forrest – South Africa’s
deadpan-face of comedy – to share the funny side of fatherhood at the iZulu
Theatre on June 6.
Audiences can
expect up to the minute laughs as Forrest shares his experiences with becoming
a father, from pregnancy to the birth to looking after an infant. His show, Who’s Your Daddy, takes a hilarious look
at what really happens when a baby arrives, and how to deal with it.
“This is a must-see
for anyone hoping to become a parent, or who is a parent or who knows a parent.
You will laugh until your stomach hurts,” says Belinda Jelf, Marketing Manager
at Sibaya.
Often touted as
South Africa’s answer to Steven Wright (the pokerfaced star of American
stand-up), Forrest has been at the forefront of SA comedy for over a decade. A
regular performer on South Africa’s premier comedy show The Heavyweight Comedy Jam, and the token white guy on the hugely
successful Blacks Only Show, Forrest
is known for his unique, dry sense of humour and super-quick thinking.
Forrest is also the
regular host of the King Size Comedy
Shows, which attract crowds in excess of 3,000. He has graced the stage of
top venues across the country – and the world – including the famous Lyric
Theatre in West End London to huge acclaim. That wasn’t his only international
exposure. He was chosen to perform at the Edinburgh Festival in 2003 and 2005,
to sell-out crowds, and was given the opportunity to work at various comedy clubs
in and around London, including the esteemed Headliners in Chiswick, and the
infamous Up the Creek in Greenwich.
Forrest has mass
appeal and audiences just can’t help but like him – and laugh at him. His witty
and cynical one-line humour is thought-provoking and to the point, grabbing
audiences’ attention and keeping them on the edge of their seats from start to
finish. Though he looks a little nerdy, he’s calm and unflustered, hopping from
topic to topic with absolute ease. Working as both a comedian and an emcee Forrest
has proved himself to be one of the most versatile and consistent performers in
the country, enjoyed by audiences of all ages and races.
Who’s Your Daddy
has one show on June 6 at the iZulu Theatre at Sibaya. Tickets R120 available
at Computicket and from the Sibaya Box Office. The show carries an age
restriction of 13.
