Four fast talking local comedians are in the mix for the next Hanover Street Comedy Sundowners at GrandWest on 7 May. Unleashing their special brand of humour will be Schalk Bezuidenhout, Nkosinathi Maki, Liam Bento and Dalin Oliver.
Oliver, who’s fast becoming one of the rising stars of the industry, organises the monthly comedy offering with entertainment veteran Stan Mars. Their relationship started at Good Hope FM where they worked on the same show, Mars as the host and Oliver as his sports presenter.
Oliver is actually a qualified high school Mathematics and History teacher ditched the chalk board for a microphone and the stage. He’s used some of his teaching experience sin his comedy shows, to great effect. His shows have been described as clean-cut, slick comedy, and he’s been a gust on Comedy Central and appeared at the National Arts Festival.
