🎭 Prepare for 70 Minutes of Pure Comedy Gold – Live in Joburg This August!
Joburg, ready your funny bone – because Kurt Schoonraad, one of South Africa’s sharpest comedic minds, is flipping life’s madness on its head with his brand-new, laugh-out-loud one-man show Funny Side Up at the Montecasino Studio Theatre from 6 to 17 August 2025.
Following a sold-out run at Cape Town’s iconic Baxter Theatre, Kurt is now bringing his signature wit, irresistible charm, and unfiltered take on modern life straight to Johannesburg — and you don’t want to miss it.
Laughter That Hits Home – and the Heart
Funny Side Up is more than just a comedy show — it’s a warm, hilarious reminder that laughter is survival. From pop culture chaos to parenting fails, from cosmetic surgery trends to Formula 1, Kurt’s razor-sharp observations serve up life’s most ridiculous moments on a silver (and side-splitting) platter.
“This show is like therapy, but with punchlines,” says Kurt. “We’re all dealing with something – this is how we laugh through it.”
Kurt’s trademark ability to turn everyday frustrations into shared hilarity makes Funny Side Up feel like a much-needed chat with your funniest friend — the kind who always finds the funny in the madness.
A Comedy Legend with a Cause
Hailing from Mitchell’s Plain, Kurt’s comedy roots run deep. He’s the founder of the Cape Town Comedy Club, a veteran of countless stages and screens, and once even graced the front page of The New York Times. But fame has never softened his edge — his humour is still honest, inclusive, and straight from the soul of Mzansi.
Whether it’s queue politics, modern dating, family dramas or navigating adulting in the digital age, Kurt keeps it real – and ridiculously funny.
