Kurt Schoonraad
Kurt Schoonraad describes himself as "Mitchell's Plain, born and fled" and he bases much of his material on recollections of his upbringing.
His physical style is reminiscent of a young Barry Hilton, and his comic impression of the ‘Cape Flats man-on-the-street’ has already made him a legend in clubs such as the Galaxy. Kurt has also elicited rave responses at the Oppi Koppi music festival in Pretoria where he has headlined the comedy stage. Kurt's widest local exposure to date has been the nationwide Green's Spicer Campus Cities Comedy Tour where he garnered a huge following from Potch to Pretoria and RAU to Rhodes some years back. In 2010 he will be delivering a nationwide tour of his hilarious one man show, “Spiders and Mayonnaise”.
Internationally, Kurt has featured on the front cover of the ‘New York Times’ and also in a BBC World Service documentary on South African comedy. Kurt has also appeared on the 5fm Heavyweight Comedy Jam, he headlined the CCC's sell-out Cracking Christmas Comedy show at Artscape and their full house at the Hermanus Whale Festival.
Kurt also topped the bill of the Cape Comedy Collective's celebratory holiday show "FROLIC!" at the Spier Amphitheatre.
Man of a thousand faces and a hundred silly voices, Kurt Schoonraad is a natural comedian headed for unprecedented fame - if you missed him on Barry Hilton's SABC3 show “Funny You Should Say That”, on the "Comedy Showcase", or on the front cover of the ‘Cape Review Magazine’, you have surely seen him on the incredibly popular “Going Nowhere Slowly” travel show on SABC3!
