About Jou Ma Se Comedy Club

About Kurt Schoonraad
His latest one-man show, HomeGroan invites you on a wildly funny journey into the deepest reaches of his warped mind. His previous production Spiders & Mayonnaise, exposes the lighter side of being South African (pre & post 1994) and his sense of the ridiculous has everyone in the audience laughing at their everyday fears and pet hates. Kurt Schoonraad represents a wholesome, proudly South African character that is easy to relate to. He portrays a strong friendly persona that is synonymous with popular culture and he is a fine candidate as a representative in any media format.
