OTIS: A ONE-DOG SHOW BY SCHALK BEZUIDENHOUT
Ever wondered what your dog is thinking?. Funny-man Schalk Bezuidenhout has - and he'll be trying out some new (and unconventional) material at Cape Town's Baxter Theatre from 7-18 November. His dog, Otis, is the star of the show, and Schalk asks viewers to "lower your expectations as some of the jokes could be kak. Probably not all. But definitely some. That's why tickets are half the price of what they normally are." Visit quicket.co.za for more info and to book. Woof!
