Paul Snodgrass is lonely at the Baxter

Paul Snodgrass, said to be the loudest comic on stage, appears in his first one-man show “I'm So Lonely” at the Baxter Concert Hall, Cape Town from Thursday, 11 to Saturday, 13 March, 2010.

Snodgrass will take you on a high-energy ride and describe the differences between men and women, his worst kiss, why he never wants to move in with a girlfriend again and why he'll probably be lonely for the rest of his life.

His comedy career started over a decade ago at the fresh faces section of the Smirnoff International comedy Festival. At the Edinburgh Festival in 2006 he was billed as one of the best value-for-money acts and has performed at, and hosted, many comedy festivals in South Africa. He is a regular performer at the Heavyweight Comedy Jams, the Kingsize Comedy Fests, and has performed at the Vodacom Funny Festival and the Old Mutual Comedy Encounters.

Known as Snoddie on Heart FM's Afternoon drive show, Snodgrass is the resident sport anchor and sidekick to host Diggy Bongz. He was a reporter and a producer for eTV sports news for five years and “That Sport Show” for three. As an MC, he has worked at almost every major rock festival in SA bringing on bands from all over the world, including recently completing his third year at “Rocking the Daisies”.

Taxi Violence

Joining him as his special guests on 11 and 12 March is the Rock Band Taxi Violence with George van der Spuy (vocals), Jason Ling (bass), Louis Nel (drums) and Rian Zietsman (guitar and backing vocals). Since 2006 they have received many accolades that include “the best thing that has happened to Rock Music”, the Best Album nomination, the Album of the Month and the Best Live Act. And on the 13 March, well-known singer-songwriter and photographer Andy Lund performs solo. Lund has been involved in the South African music scene for over 10 years.

I'm So Lonely is at 8.15pm each evening and is 70 minutes long with no interval. It has an age restriction: no under-16s.

Tickets costs R60 and there is a 10 percent discount for block bookings of 10 or more. Book at Computicket, Shoprite and Checkers outlets, at the Baxter Theatre on +27 (0)21 685 7880 and online at www.computicket.com.
