Award-winning comedian, John Vlismas is one of South Africa’s most creative, prolific international comics. John Vlismas has entered 2009 with a full schedule but typical low-key stealth, continuing to play to a large number of corporate audiences and readying an exciting film project for release in September 2009 and to be announced in due course. John's international travel will be limited this year, due to local commitments. April sees his much-anticipated solo art exhibition, "Off The Reservation." featuring 20 oil on canvas works at the Obert Contemporary Gallery In Melrose Arch. While the work is serious in nature, Vlismas has opted to open the exhibition on April 1st, determined to reference his comic roots. His new one-man comedy show, Pow!, will premiere in June, visiting both Durban and Johannesburg.
