From his hilarious childhood growing up in the Flats to his
equally hilarious present, Comedian Kurt Schoonraad invites you on a
wildly funny journey into the deepest reaches of his warped mind with his
new production HomeGroan. Opening at the Baxter Concert Hall, it sees Kurt
and friends - Altaf Kazi, Horatio Caine and a horde of Aliens make the
amazing discovery that coloured people are taking over the world.
Director Rob van Vuuren, a comic Tour de Force and versatile
performer (Twakkie, in The Most Amazing Show, Strictly Come Dancing, SA’s
Got Talent and more) says, ‘It has been a dream come true to finally work
with a man whose hair and eyeballs I have admired from afar for quite some
time.'

HomeGroan reinforces why Schoonraad is such a stellar player
in the South African Comedy industry as he crosses that invisible
threshold between young manhood and full blown middle age!.
Kurt is no stranger to the comedy circuit, appearing in many
local and international comedy festivals and has had significant roles in
popular SABC TV series; the quirky accidental tourist in Going Nowhere
Slowly, the whacky protagonist in Crazy Games (2006-09) and was one of
the first celebrities to feature in Who Do You Think You Are? He also
pioneered the successful Jou Ma se Comedy Club.
‘Developing this new show has become quite a humbling
experience. ‘I’ve never tackled comedy from this angle before’, states
Kurt. ‘I am really excited to be working with a well known South African
comedy genius like Rob, but I wouldn’t be able to finish a whole one!”
