Comedian Barry Hilton to Bring BARRY HILTON B.E.E. – BEST OF EVERYTHING EVER to Baxter Theatre, April 26-27

South African comedy legend, Barry Hilton, famously known as 'The Cousin', will present his latest show BARRY HILTON B.E.E. - BEST OF EVERYTHING EVER at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town on 26 and 27 April 2013.

BARRY HILTON B.E.E. - BEST OF EVERYTHING EVER showcases some of Hilton's current work as well as audience favourites that span a phenomenal 30 years on stage as a successful, professional comedian. With his relaxed stage demeanour and gregarious personality, Barry continues to strive and thrive, performing both locally and internationally. During 2012 he performed to rave reviews on five of the seven continents and extensively throughout Africa proving that audiences of every nationality can relate to his humour. Steering clear of political satire, swearing, explicit content and blasphemy the comedy stalwart's fan base continues to grow and his unique international appeal has ensured a fan base that spans the globe.

This show came about when Barry's Fans kept asking for their old favourites. Whether you're a teenager or a pensioner, a single dad or an internet dating forty year old divorcee, you'll laugh till your belly aches listening to Barry's side-splitting interpretations of everyday events. With more comedians on the South African comedy scene than ever before, Barry Hilton still tops the list with theatres, corporates and advertising agencies. He has stayed on the scene by 'keeping it clean' and continually coming up with new material which he sources mostly by just being observant, keeping up to date with the news, living his life to the full and seeing the funny side of everything.

Barry last performed in Cape Town in 2012 with New Zealand comic, Mike King, and before that he sold out the GrandWest Arena in 2010 and 2011. He has worked to rapturous applause and rave reviews across the world - on busses, planes and trains; in corporate boardrooms and men's locker rooms; on board international cruise liners and in auditoriums and stadiums; under the stars in the African bush and on the white sands of tropical beaches; from church pulpits, school stages and on radio, television and the big screen - a more experienced and versatile comedian is hard to find. Zimbabwean by birth, Barry spent his high school years in Cape Town where he attended Observatory Boys High School and where he went on to do an apprenticeship as an electrician, living and working in the Mother City for some years before moving to Johannesburg to further his early career as a comedian.
