If you live in South Africa and don’t know
ABBOTT & CRABB…where have you been hiding!
The duo has become, over the years, one of the bastions of the South
African entertainment, cabaret and pub circuit. They
have been chosen to performed at prestigious venues
such as Sun City and The Carousel with appearances
in our neighbouring
countries Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. In
fact, instead of naming the places they have played,
it would probably be easier to name the places in
which they haven't shared their unique brand of
comedy and song which never fails to keep the
audience in stiches.
Ones a Pommie, the other an Oke from Springs. These
two have managed to
survive and prosper through 25 years on the South
African
entertainment scene. From Cape Town to Lusaka,
Johannesburg to Swakopmund to Durban to, just about
anywhere really.. Abbott and Crabb’s
unique blend of comedy and music has had audiences
laughing and singing for years.
Because they have been together for the last 25
years, this makes Abbott and Crabb one of the oldest performing bands in the
country. (Although Dave and Henry aren’t sure whether
this is all to good). Over the last decade they have
resided in Johannesburg, both have married with children,
but by no means does this stop them from
travelling to play at distant venues on a “one off”
basis.
Adults and Children of ALL races and religion’s are
entertained by these two who can make you laugh
by...well ….just making you laugh.. no swearing
, no blue jokes, just good clean fun…but how can
they make you laugh like that you ask???? Well you
just have to see them to find out!!!!
Comedian, Comedians, Comedians south Africa,
Johannesburg Comedian
Their name has been constructed around a show which
collaborates stand-up comedy with a very well rounded
musical performance, not to mention their very
capable vocal and musical abilities. With vocals,
including
guitars, banjo, violin and an assortment of props
there is a continuous change of sound and ambiance during their
performance. So whether you’re dancing, singing
along or both, you can be assured that its PARTY TIME!!
Most people get a bit of a shock to find that they
can actually PLAY their instruments, And rather
well at that. Both Abbott and Crabb sing while their music ranges
from Bluegrass (Dave’s an adept fiddle player and
Henry’s handy on the banjo) to rock 'n Roll (they both play
guitar). Dave is actually a fine guitarist who has
featured on a multitude of other artists albums
while Henry is more of
an expert at….well just plain silly!!!!
This is ABBOTT AND CRABB, enjoy them, they’ll
be around for a long time yet.
