Undoubtedly one of the Festival highlights, this year’s Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival Shuckle - with comedy on the side - will be hosted by SA’s favourite funnymen, Kurt Schoonraad and Stuart Taylor on Thursday, 10 July. Come and see them in action, and watch – or even enter – the oyster eating or shucking competitions!
Last year Patrick Sibeko won first place for the third year in a row when he shucked 26 oysters in just two minutes and two seconds! Locals Eben Strydom and Wayne Rhode took top honours for shucking and eating 14 oysters in only one minute!
To enter: If you think you have what it takes to top them in either the shucking or eating competitions, email . Entry to both competitions is free. Entry forms are also available at Knysna Tourism, located at 40 Main Street.
To attend: R100 per person – includes six oysters

Kurt Schoonrad:
Mad, zany, lively and manic are among the many words that are used to describe comedian Kurt Schoonraad. Hailing from Mitchell’s Plain, Kurt is Cape Town’s favourite comedian and his earthy humour makes him a real South African boykie in every way.
Stuart Taylor:
Stuart Taylor is probably best known to South Africans as the presenter of SABC 3’s hit travel show, ‘Going Nowhere Slowly’. His theatre production ‘Learner Husband’ played to critical acclaim and in 2012 Stuart toured the country with his latest solo offerings.
