Kurt Schoonraad: Funny Side Up

Event information

Following a successful run at Montecasino, Kurt Schoonraad brings his 2025 show back to Cape Town. The special uses Schoonraad's beloved storytelling to poke fun at the absurdities of South African life, and even the chaos of international politics. 23 years after his first-ever one-man show at the Baxter, Schoonraad returns to the stage with new observations, a tiny bit more maturity, and the same charm.

More about the comedian:
"Kurt Schoonraad is one of South Africa’s most instantly recognisable stand-up comedians. With his earthy humour and comedic range he connects with audiences from every corner of South Africa, not to mention internationally, even making the front page of the New York Times. Kurt’s professional comedy career took off almost two decades ago. In that time, he has been consistently performing stand-up comedy onstage, and has also gone on to produce and perform his hugely successful one-man shows all over the country."
