The Selfdrive Laughter Factory Brings you “An Evening with Schalk Bezuidenhout” - Dubai

at Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach | Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR)


Description


Fresh off the release of his Netflix Special, Schalk Bezuidenhout brings his brand new show Feeling Good to Dubai for the first time at Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach on Friday 20 January 2023.


One of South Africa’s most exciting talents is debuting in Dubai.

He’s strong, funny and has a thick moustache.

When we say ‘strong’ we mean mentally. Physically he has the body of a very tall grade 5.

Schalk had, like all of us, a lot of free time during the lockdown. And what did he do with all this free time?

He wrote a show. A very, very funny show.


Come join Schalk for an evening of comedy. This might be his funniest show yet. Because, more than ever, he is Feeling Good.

Two-time SA Comic’s Choice Award winner. As seen on Netflix & Comedy Central.

  • ‘Fast-rising talent’ -The Guardian
  • ‘Definitely one to watch’- Evening Standard
  • ‘His joke-telling is superb...pure and simple stand-up, expertly performed’ -Chortle 

Schalk is one of the most exciting voices in South African comedy, bringing his unique contemporary Afrikaans perspective to the global comedy stage.

With a host of accolades include winner of the Savanna Newcomer Award at the Comics Choice Awards 2013, nominee for Breakthrough Act at the Comics Choice Awards 2014 and winner of the Intermediate Award at the Comics Choice Awards 2015.

Schalk also has a number of high profile live appearances to his name, opening for Trevor Noah in 2015 and 2017, and recording his own stand up special for Comedy Central. 

In 2022 Schalk recorded a second stand up special for Netflix as part of Only Jokes Allowed.

As well as being a top stand up performer he can be seen playing the lead role in ‘Kanarie’ a major feature length film. 

Schalk’s international career has seen him sell out stand-up show runs at London’s Leicester Square Theatre, Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He has also performed on the Trending Comics Gala at Montreux Comedy Festival in Switzerland and Dubai. 

Schalk has been heard on radio shows such as Andrew Maxwell’s series Welcome to Wherever You Are (BBC Radio 4) and Comedians Vs The News (BBC World Service).
