Darren's unofficial son reveals his best moments with 'Papa Dad'

We all know the award-winning comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout for his funny skits, his colourful sweaters, and wild hair. He has been on the South African comedy scene for quite some time and Darren Maule happened to be there right at the beginning in 2011. 

In the podcast below, they travel back to the first time they met, which was backstage at one of the many comedy shows Joe Parker hosted.
