GET ready, Cape Town - Despicable Hehe is coming to Theatre on the Bay in Cape Town this week from 10 to 15 February 2026, marking the final leg of its wildly successful tour.
South Africa's double International Emmy-nominated and multiple award-winning comedy ventriloquist Conrad Koch and his razor-sharp puppet Chester Missing is set to deliver a night of side-splitting humour that promises to leave audiences roaring with laughter.
With over 130 million TikTok views and a trail of sold-out shows around the globe, Koch is no stranger to creating comedy gold.
And Despicable Hehe is his latest masterpiece, a riot of puppets, punchlines, and pure fun that’s as smart as it is silly.
Koch told the Daily Voice: “This show is a rollercoaster of hilarity.
“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.”
Koch describes the show as a mix of light-hearted social commentary and family-friendly humour designed for everyone 12 and up.
Tickets for the show are available for R180 to R220 on Webtickets. The laughter starts at 8pm.
