Street Comedy

Amphitheatre V & A Waterfront

They will amaze and astound you! They will amuse and bemuse you! Beware – the city and its environs will be invaded by a new species of comedy performer as the Street Festival comes to a corner near you.

A cast of internationally acclaimed street performers will be showing Cape Town crowds that laughter is indeed an international currency when they take comedy to the city’s streets this July.

Mr. Bunk CAN Mr. Bunk presents a unique mixture of improvised physical comedy and outrageous puppetry.  He silently plays with the crowd and creates a spectacle out of nothing. The highlight of the show features audience members playing characters in a ridiculous and unforgettable pantomime. With so much audience participation and improvised comedy, every show is different, but always hilarious!

The Silly People CAN The Silly People, Phil LeConte and Colin Franks are two guys from Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario who have a flair for ‘silliness’. They have been performing for over 15 years and have worked in fourteen different countries. With a perfect blend of quick wit, slapstick and random useless skills they create “free-style comedy.”  Balloons, juggling, and circus skills…who could ask for anything more?
