Alain D Woolf is one of South Africa’s finest entertainers. An accomplished singer, comedian, impressionist, Alain has performed internationally through television, film, and live performances.

His last international show was as a headliner (in Australia) at Fox Studios Sydney Comedy Store. His presentation is an upmarket, balanced 50 minutes of funny stories, jokes, impersonations and a good song or two.

Ideal for corporate functions, golf days and brightening up conferences, Alain has repeatedly provided entertainment for many of South Africa’s leading companies (a list is available on request).

His versatility has taken him through a range of comedy genres including Stand-Up, Candid Camera and Comedy Hypnotism.

Serious acting won him the ‘Tonight’ award for best Actor for his portrayal of ‘Galanakis’ in Grey Hoffmeyer’s ‘The Big Time’.

Apart from live cabaret performances for clubs and corporates local and international, Alain has been involved on both sides of the camera in movies - particularly in the Candid Camera genre. He wrote and directed ‘You’re in the Movies’ and ‘Funny Stuff’. Mazda also commissioned Alain to produce write and direct 20 Candid Camera inserts for M-Net - to great acclaim!

BARRY HILTON, “The Cousin”, is South Africa’s premiere stand-up comedian. His sell-out shows are proof of his popularity as “the cleanest” stand-up comedian in the country.

Barry introduces his latest show “Laughter to The People”. He tours South Africa extensively each year, performing in theatres and clubs everywhere.

Barry appeals to both young and not so young and his corporate shows are always booked well in advance.

He has recently returned from a successful international tour of England, France, Wales, Ireland, the Channel Islands and Holland. In London, he performed at the prestigious comedy club “The Comedy Store”, the first South African stand-up comedian to do so.

“The Cousin” has featured in several television shows, including his own ten part series, entitled “Funny You Should Say That” on SABC on Saturday evenings prime time.

In addition to his corporate shows, Barry has devised an exciting new motivational concept for companies. The “Laughter Factory” will show employees how to bring more laughter into the workplace, and how success comes with laughter.

As one of South Africa’s most prolific comedians, John is well-known for his versatility and punishing schedule. Whether he’s writing material in a hotel suite with Jerry Springer, representing his country on stage in a Canadian festival with Drew Carrey following him, hosting a prime-time talk show or entertaining business leaders at their function, he’ll deliver the goods in his signature high-octane style.

Vlismas is a favourite amongst South Africans living abroad and regularly travels to London to cheer up the masses of us over there. He’s featured at the Berlin festival, garnered favourable reviews in Melbourne, and still tours with the largest comedy productions in South Africa; the Kingsize Comedy Jams. He has also been very involved with South African Tourism’s campaign in Australia, including a gala performance at the Sydney Opera House.

John has written, directed and produced 6 one-man theatre shows. He has scripted and performed for the FNB Life Start, and SAB Brand Power national road shows. He has also produced and directed two prime-time TV shows, and regularly performs at his comedy clubs in Melville and Centurion.

All of this is parallel to John’s co-ownership of Virus Communications, a production and media company that develops effective delivery of comedy through technology.
