Kimberley’s comedy lovers are in for a treat this Easter long weekend as acclaimed stand-up comedian Virgil Prins returns to the city with his hit one-man show Komediant.
Back for the second year running, the much-loved performance will take centre stage on Saturday, 4 April 2026, bringing a night of laughter, storytelling and sharp South African humour to the Flamingo Casino.
The show arrives by popular demand, after audiences asked for something entertaining to enjoy during the Easter long weekend — and organisers listened.
Now Kimberley gets another chance to experience the comedic energy and relatability that have made Prins one of the country’s most entertaining stand-up performers.
A Comedy Journey Through Life in South Africa
Performed in both English and Afrikaans, Komediant offers audiences a hilarious and honest journey through the life of a comedian navigating everyday realities in South Africa.
Through sharp observations and personal storytelling, Prins explores themes that resonate deeply with local audiences — including:
-
Marriage and relationships
-
Divorce and life changes
-
Finances and everyday struggles
-
Misconceptions about life as a performer
-
The unexpected joys and challenges of chasing dreams
The result is a performance that is high-energy, deeply relatable and packed with laugh-out-loud moments.
It’s comedy that doesn’t just entertain — it reflects the humour found in everyday South African life.
A Comedian With National and International Reach
Originally from the Eastern Cape, Virgil Prins has built a strong reputation across the country’s entertainment circuit.
