ABBOTT & CRABB

Abbott & Crabb, Dave Abbott & Henry Crabb’s comedy and music have audiences shouting for more. The two performers are stalwarts of the South African pub entertainment industry and have performed at prestigious venues such as Sun City and The Carousel and in neighboring countries Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

Abbot & Crabb has been together for the last 20 years. Their reputation is built around a show that combines stand-up comedy and sketches against a strong musical performance based on their considerable vocal and instrumental abilities. Vocals, guitars, violin, banjo and assorted props create a diverse and always interesting show.

The duo released an album of their songs, At Last, in 1990. The album sold well and received extensive airplay, which inspired Abbot & Crabb to record a live album, currently being mixed for release.
