Local comedian Casper de Vries has taken to social media to explain why he was found “naked, bruised and bloodied” in the streets of Linden, in Gauteng, on Monday.
Sharing snaps of his very bruised and swollen gesig, De Vries - who is also rocking a glammed up neck brace - revealed it was a combination of sleeping pills and vodka that resulted in the embarrassing ordeal which he has no recollection of.
Casper, 54, claims he remembers wanting to take his dog for a walk, but can’t remember anything after that.
He wrote: “Never drink sleepingpills and then wash it down with clean SKYY vodka. @deepfriedman found me passed out naked in the streets of Linden, bruised and bloodied. Kent was missing. I think I wanted to take him for a walk. But he f***** off. I remember NOTHING. Even hurt my neck & am now wearing Montelle’s brace. Kent came back. Nursing bruises and scratches on my legs. Feel sorry please. And then you may laugh. (sic)”
Kent was later found close to his home.

Netwerk24reports that fellow-comedian, Daniel Friedman (Deep Fried Man), from whom Casper rents a space, discovered him in the street and put him to bed.
Speaking on behalf of Daniel, Whacked Management, said: “Daniel Friedman has chosen not to comment.”
It has also been reported that Casper apparently started using anti-depressants recently.
