South Africa’s double Emmy-nominated ventriloquist Conrad Koch is back on stage – and yes, Chester Missing will be there too. Alongside the sharp-tongued puppet, audiences can expect a few new characters, including a rat who thinks he’s a celebrity chef (meet Gordon Ratsy), DJ Hoodie and Mr Dixon, among others.
Running for four nights at the Pieter Toerien Theatre at Montecasino (10-13 July), the show dives into everything from global politics and celebrity nonsense to the chaos of social media and the everyday absurdities of life in South Africa.
