Carl’s comedy revolves around being a small town boy in the big city, his experiences of growing up in the Free State but undoubtedly his nicheis “what if” in movie and soapie scenarios. Delving in and out of hilariously funny characters, with an amazingly unique take on everyday life.

As well as performing at the annual Rocking the Daisies Festival (Comedy Tent) doing our door events like 2010 annual Kite festival as well as 2011 Navy festival,playing and fine tuning his set to an array of different audiences. 2011 has indeed been an eventful year as he has gone on to win the Phat Joe’s Cape Town’s Next Comic sponsored by Heart FM. Taking the leap into theatre he recently completed a 4 night run as part of Stuart Taylor’s Intimate Comedy Sessions at On Broadway. Yet the biggest highlight so far was being selected to open to 1500 people for Loyiso Gola’s one man show “Life & Times”and being extremely well received.He has just recently won the Graca comedy showdown 2011, which won him a spot in the coveted nandos comedy festival which took place at the Artscape, sharing a stage with international comics like Greg Behrendt (best-selling author of “he’s just not that into you”) and the internationally acclaimed comic Pablo Francisco.
