Casper De Vries

Snaaks Genoeg (Funny Enough) is an entertaining and poignant dark comedy, which explores the pain inflicted by humour on the average human being. The film, an original piece written and directed by David Moore, follows a down-and-out comedian (Casper de Vries) who drifts from one small town to another. Having alienated his audience with his crude comments and dirty humours, his popularity has faded. He hits the road fighting not only for survival, but also to find the spark he once had. He has been reduced to doing shows in small towns and working for food and accommodation. As he drifts from remote location to remote location, successful comedians are being kidnapped, tortured and murdered in bizarre ways, and he seems to be riding right into the centre of this storm.

South Africa's wickedest satirist is back with a tongue so sharp it could slice through ice. De Vries knows his onions, and remains one of the few comedians who take salacity to the utmost limit without giving the slightest offence. Casper's superb talents have surely earned him a place in the select coterie of the national treasures, this country should guard and nurture with pride.
