Schalk vows to love and cherish Lowvelders
Interactive props and stage antics turn post-marriage heartbreak into a crowd-pleasing celebration of stand-up.
Schalk Bezuidenhout, a comedian best known for his sharp humour and hilarious social media videos, brought his new show, ‘Hey Hey Divorce’, for two nights on September 4 and 5 to the Capital Hotel. In his show, Schalk takes the audience to his wedding day, and his once-promising marriage that ended a year later.

Although his marital status has changed, Schalk remains a master of comedy. Sharing his wedding speech and vows had the crowd in stitches as he unenthusiastically reminisced and explained how he had to come to terms with the divorce.

Interactive props engage audience
Handing out props to audience members made the show interactive as the crowd supported Schalk through his journey of sadness and misery. The one thing that has always been there for him, however, is comedy and his fans.

Schalk renews vows to comedy
With the help of an unmarried couple from the audience, Schalk renewed his vows to have and to hold his comedy duties to his fans. His satirical take on divorce and marriage is relatable and offered fresh perspectives on these life-changing challenges for people.

In the end, Lowvelders gladly said ‘I do’ and are already awaiting his return with the hope of a new exciting chapter in his life.
