Conrad is hugely excited to be touring his 2021 roll-in-the-aisle hour of hilarity,
RAMAPUPPET! Because, in the year and a half of lockdown we have had, we all
feel a bit like President Ramaphosa, flailing around with his mask over his eyes on
national television. And if there is one thing that unites South Africans, it’s our ability
to laugh! And load shedding.
Conrad Koch is South Africa’s hilarious double Emmy nominated ventriloquist and
his comedy accomplice, Chester Missing, is South Africa’s most famous puppet…
outside of parliament. Their shows have been seen on Comedy Central, etv, eNCA,
SABC, Canada’s Comedy Network, and more, and is sitting on over 37 million views
on TikTok this year alone.
With multiple 5 star reviews globally, the CBC in Canada saying “my face hurt from
laughing so hard”, describing Conrad’s work as “absolutely delightful and technically
brilliant”, “Koch throws away more laugh lines than many shows have in the first
place”.
In Australia, OUTinPerth described his show as an “utter delight”, “there was not a
dry eye left in the house, young or old alike.” In the Eastern Cape, The Herald said: “I
almost cried with laughter”.
This promises to be Conrad’s most local-is-lekker show to date. Starring Hilton, the
ostrich who gives relationship advice, Mr Dixon, school teacher of 43 years, Ronnie
the rock n roll internet troll, and of course his celebrity mate Chester Missing,
roasting everything from awkward Covid protocols to laser hair removal.
RAMAPUPPET will be a delightful hour of gut-wrenchingly funny, world-class
ventriloquism poking fun at the bonkers hurdles South Africans face. From lockdown
to looting, from Zoom meetings to alcohol bans, and that manager at Checkers who
wields more power than Presidents, there is so much in Mzansi to laugh at.
The show is family friendly, with a PG13 suggestion. A great night out for everyone!
