Conrad Koch and his razor-sharp puppet, Chester Missing, who opens the show with his cheeky take on everything from local politics to international absurdities.
Comedy ventriloquist Conrad Koch will deliver a night of side-splitting humour in Despicable Hehe, from Monday February 10 to Saturday February 15 at Theatre On The Bay, at 8pm.
“This show is a rollercoaster of hilarity,” says Koch. “It’s packed with wild characters like Vladimir Putin the Vampire, Gunter the German mosquito, and even a DJ puppet made out of a hoodie. Of course, Chester Missing is there too, with his signature political wit.”
Known for using comedy to tackle serious topics, Koch says Despicable Hehe shifts gears toward a lighter tone. “In recent years, I’ve leaned into the ‘politics of joy’—creating a space where people can laugh together without feeling alienated. This show is driven by love more than anger,” he says.
While Chester’s biting political commentary makes an appearance, the show’s primary goal is to entertain. “This is my funniest, most accessible work to date.”
Tickets cost from R180 to R220 through Webtickets.
