Casper de Vries is a South African comedian who has been performing for 30 years. He pioneered Afrikaans comedy and helped the language mature. De Vries took a break from one-man shows in 2013 but is now returning to comedy. He was recently awarded the Savanna Comics Choice Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the first Afrikaans comedian to receive the honor. De Vries has also been focusing on his radio show for the past two years and will star in an upcoming comedy film later this year based on a fictionalized version of himself. He hopes to continue his comedy career through more film projects going forward.
