About Me……

This is my blog.
It has no proper structure. I post what I want, on topics that interest me. Occasionally I throw in a bit of news, views and the boos from the wonderful comedy industry that I try make my living from.

Below is my biog if you are the cut and paste type of promoter….

Martin Evans is equally at home, headlining or mc’ing an event. Described as a cynical grouch with a sense of humour that is intelligent and sophisticated. Martin has long been praised for his originality and his quality of performance.

He may now call Cape Town home, but his demand has taken him all over the world. Martin’s hundreds of performances internationally put him right at the top of his game. From headlining and mc’ing shows in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Bahrain, Dubai, Spain, Belgium to countless performances locally.

Martin was represented by top comedy management in the UK (They represented Russell Brand, Omid Djallili, Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords)

His corporate client list is very impressive and done everything from voiceover work and corporate acting, to three successful solo shows. Martin was just recently awarded the “Standard Bank Ovation Award” at the National Arts Festival for excellence in comedy, for his show “FBPK”

Martin presented one of the most successful online radio shows in South Africa with Rob Van Vuuren on 2oceansvibe radio. Martin is currently working as a freelance presenter for 94.5 KFM and soon to be 567 Cape Talk.

Martin is recognizable as the face of many television commercials. More recently, in South Africa as the lead in the Castle Lager and ABSA investments campaigns.

“take it from me, he had us rolling in the aisles and weeping with laughter.”
