Feeling the squeeze, overcooked and getting a raw deal? Your
bank manager tightening the screws? Time then for a mouthful of Credit
Crunch at Obz Café Theatre with Brent Palmer - the famous comedian that
most people in his immediate family have heard of.
You can laugh, cry and gnash your teeth with Brent as he
ventures into the dark underworld of inflation, deflation, Cape flats
sushi, corporate crooks, Third World debt and the real heroes who deal
with the Big Issues… at the traffic lights. Bring the family, bring your
friends, nobody out there has escaped the Crunch. And, hey, you may even
spot your broker in the audience – but be patient, you can bliksem him
after the show.

Yes, Brent Palmer is back! The same man who still returns to Grassy
Park for his mommy’s Sunday lunch, regularly cashes in discount coupons,
drives a dodgy sedan with a missing rear indicator, and has directed Nik
Rabinowitz in his last five shows.
A born and bred Cape flats local and London trained actor,
comedian, playwright and director, Palmer has been seen in many
productions at the Baxter, Artscape, Maynardville, as well as on screen
choosing the beer over the girl in a lager ad, then being gunned down by
Stephen Segal in Mercenary for Justice. “After surviving that,” says
Brent, “living through a financial crisis has been amazing, it has been
terrible, it has been amazingly terrible and terribly amazing.”
For sixty minutes you’ll forget about the wife leaving with the TT,
SARS knocking at the door, and those pesky politicians and their zillion
dollar jols. You’ll discover how others are feeling the pinch, from
motivational bergies, to entrepreneurial gangsters and microwave dinner
yuppies. You’ll leave confident that life is not about how much money you
have in the bank. It’s about how much you have under the mattress.
