Keeping Up – Schalk Bezuidenhout, November 17 and 18
Schalk Bezuidenhout is set to tickle Pretoria’s funny-bone with his fifth not-to-miss one-man show. He used to be woke AF, the liberal guy at the braai. But it’s happening more and more that Schalk has to count his words. In this ever-changing world and society, he is just trying to keep up.
The show runs from 19:00 on both nights at the Atterbury Theatre.
The Sip ’n Swop, November 19
Ever seen someone wearing an item of clothing and thought, “I would look so much better in that”? Well at this sustainable upcycling event you can swop till you drop – while enjoying some wine (included in the ticket price).
