The Chester Missing Roadshow is directed by award-winning director
Heinrich Reisenhofer, produced by Podium…The Comedy Merchants and proudly
presented by eNCA, City Press & DStv. It promises to be a riot of
world-class ventriloquism, crazy characters, cutting-edge political commentary
and hysterically funny situations.
As a political analyst Mr Chester Missing has broken new ground with his
outrageous hard hitting, funny and frank interviews with South Africa’s
political elite that include Gwede Mantashe, Zwelinzima Vavi, Helen Zille,
Mosioua Lekota, Blade Nzimande, Patricia De Lille, Bantu Holomisa and
others.
It is unprecedented world-wide that a puppet like Chester Missing is
able to talk so frankly and directly with the ruling party and opposition
alike. He is also a weekly columnist for the award winning news site www.zanews.co.za
Unfortunately for Chester he is accompanied by his annoying
ventriloquist Conrad Koch and Conrad's puppet sidekicks Hilary, the outrageous
diva Ostrich and Ronnie, the lunatic green monster. Chester wants to be the
star, but these other foolish characters keep getting in the way!
Armed with a Master's degree in Social Anthropology, Conrad Koch is
recognized as SA’s top ventriloquist, unique at combining cultural insights
with hilarious commentary and puppetry. He is constantly exploring new
directions in the ventriloquism art form where the drama of politics lends
itself to satire and the theatre stage.
The director of the show Heinrich Reisenhofer is without a doubt one of
the country’s most respected and decorated theatre directors. With an
impressive body of work over the years, Reisenhofer’s accolades, that are too
many to mention include several prestigious Fleur Du Cap Awards. His influence
gives this crazy comedic romp direction and gravitas - a delightful mix of
entertainment that is sure to blow Johannesburg audiences away.
The Chester Missing Roadshow takes place from the 30th of
April to the 2nd of June at the Market Theatre. The shows commence
at 20h00 every night, are 65 minutes long and there is an age restriction
PG 13 L. Tickets range from R80 to R160 and are available at Computicket,
Shoprite and Checkers outlets nationwide.
This is not a show to be missed!! The Chester Missing Roadshow is
proudly presented by eNCA, City Press and DStv.
