CHRIS FORREST Comes To On Broadway August 18-20

By:

CHRIS FORREST comes to On Broadway for three shows only - THURSDAY 18th to SATURDAY 20th AUGUST 2011

Tickets R85 per person, Students R65, groups of 10 or more R75

He speaks slow, but he thinks quick! Some call him South Africa's answer to Steven Wright, others say who is Steven Wright, whilst others say we're out of milk can you please pick some up on your way home. Chris Forrest, the deadpan face of South African comedy brings you his inaugural solo show "Chris Forrest - he's a really nice guy", which with his dry sense of humour and completely odd take on life promises to be a side-splitting affair. After selling out in Johannesburg the show now comes to Cape Town for the first time.

Chris is best known for his TV appearances such as being one of the stars of the "Pure Monate Show" and numerous successful ad campaigns which include being Sasol's volunteer Olympic coach "Coach Joe", the "Yo" guy for the Vodacom Challenge, and the recent Toyota Campaign as the mouth and voice of "Buddy the Boxer".

Chris has also been a regular performer on South Africa's premier comedy show "The Heavyweight Comedy Jam" which tours the country on a regular basis, as well as being an honorary black man on the hugely successful "Blacks Only Show" which has revolutionised comedy in SA. Chris is also the regular host of the King Size Comedy Shows, attracting crowds of three thousand plus.

With topics varying from the difficulties of being single, to his experiences abroad, to the joys of life in South Africa, there's bound to be something for everyone. So make sure that you wear a belt (to stop your sides from splitting - duh!) and come and enjoy Chris Forrest.
