Schalk Bezuidenhout: Hey Hey Divorcè

We've got a date for your calendar next month: Friday, February 20, 2026. South African comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout is bringing his new stand-up show, 'Hey Hey Divorcè', to the Brighton Dome Studio Theatre. Schalk is a well-known name in South Africa, recognized for his energetic style and ability to connect with all kinds of audiences. This particular show is centered around his recent divorce, offering a fresh, humorous perspective on navigating that major life chapter.

If you aren't familiar with him, Schalk has a pretty interesting backstory that informs his comedy. He grew up in Kempton Park, East Rand, and often talks about his journey from what he describes as a "conservative Afrikaner caterpillar" to the "dramatically beautiful butterfly" he is now—complete with the signature mustache and afro. He studied drama at the University of Cape Town and started doing stand-up back in April 2011, performing globally since then. His comedy is often described as appealing to people of all types, making him a versatile performer who brings a lot of energy to the stage.

For those planning to attend the Brighton gig, the event takes place at the Dome Studio Theatre. Doors open at 7:15 PM, and the show itself kicks off promptly at 8:00 PM. Tickets are currently available for purchase online, priced at £22.00. Just be aware that if you book online or over the phone, there is an additional £3.50 charge applied per order. Since the material is aimed at adults, the show carries an age restriction, generally recommended for those 15 or 16 and older. It sounds like a solid night out for anyone looking for some sharp, post-breakup humor delivered by a comedian who has clearly found his unique voice on stage.
