Chris Forrest Is Rather Funny
What happens when a Gauteng comedian leaves the big city?
Since Covid, Chris Forrest has been hiding out in his house in Jo’burg and braaing. He has now managed to secure an armed escort out of Gauteng and has decided it’s high time to see what life is like in a province without any potholes, something he’s quite looking forward too! So he’ll be travelling through the Western Cape (via Gqeberha), stopping briefly to make people laugh in various towns as he goes.
Chris has been professionally funny for 25 years, mostly on stage, sometimes during family functions. He’ll be coming to your town to tell you all about his life as a middle-aged, overweight, (now bald) ginger.
Chris who is looking forward to the tour says:
“The garden route is an amazing part of the world, much better than the route through my garden, which is quite short and the only audiences are my pets, whose humour is quite niche. I’ve always found that the people in the towns along the route are amazing and I can’t wait!”
He is known for his sharp wit, hilarious take on life in SA and side-splitting observations. He’d really to observe you. In the audience. He’d like to see you too …. he has school fees to pay
Come through, laugh with him or at him, but do come it will be fun, booking is easy just do it through Quicket.
