Alan Committie Wraps Up 2024 With Comedy Gold At Theatre On The Bay!

 

Renowned and award-winning funnyman, Alan Committie, returns to Theatre on the Bay for his annual brand new stand up offering as he reflects on the year that was.

From 18 December – 8 February at Theatre On The Bay!

Booking link: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Event.aspx?itemid=1552517584

Special New Year’s eve performance: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Seating.aspx?itemid=1552526083

In Comedy Gold, Committie will once again award comedy medals to all the quibbles, foibles, outrageous inconsistencies and multiple inefficiencies that make up modern living in 2024.

From elections and appalling selections, though Airbnbs and neighbourhood Whatsapp groups but never ignoring Olympic shenanigans and dieticians, this show will be filled with all the customary wordplay, physical hi-jinx and surreal detours into fresh perspectives that you associate with this jester.

Also: a flipchart. Always.

Although not a trained athlete in the traditional sense, Committie is a highly respected and well regarded member of the Lower Bergvliet Amateur Association 7th team badminton squad (reserves).

And doesn’t eat carbs on a Tuesday.

Did I mention there will be flipchart?

The show is coached by Chris Weare who may or may not be on a course of steroids but never for the reason you guessed.

Bookings at Webtickets or the Theatre On The Bay box-office (021) 438-3301.

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING – CPT SEASON 2024

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING

Theatre On The Bay from 25 September to 5 October, 2024.

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is Lottering’s newest stand-up show.  And yes, that really is his second name.

In this show, Lottering shares his findings on where he thinks his colourful family tree stems from.  As is to be expected, his viewpoints are hilariously outrageous after his mom, when he was little, promised him that they were all originally “blonde German-Caribbeans”.

Lottering is one of South Africa’s top comedians, having written 20 one-man shows and 3 smash hit musicals.  He has been nominated for, and received several prestigious theatre awards along the way.

This year, Lottering has been inducted into the Comics Choice Hall of Fame.

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is not suitable for children.

Conrad Koch & Chester Missing’s “Baggage”

CONRAD KOCH & CHESTER MISSING’S ‘BAGGAGE’

Theatre On The Bay from 28 February – 2 March, 2024.


In this laugh out loud, feel-good explosion of comedic silliness, internationally acclaimed ventriloquist Conrad Koch wants to get personal about his ‘Baggage’. But his best friend, superstar puppet Chester Missing (who lives in actual baggage), has other plans. In his usual funny and irreverent way Chester thinks Conrad’s ‘problems’ are a joke. In fact all the voices in Conrad’s head have bad and outrageous advice on everything: anxiety, climate change, dating, load-shedding and much much more. Meet the hilarious crew, including Hilton the booty shaking ostrich, Mr Dixon, retired high school teacher we can all relate to, and even a fashionista lion, this interactive comedy show is a LOL ensemble of one. ‘Baggage’ won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival.
​​
Chester Missing is famous in South Africa for his satirical news TV shows, and his many viral social media posts, with 100 million views on TikTok alone. Conrad’s theatre shows have received critical acclaim globally, and has featured on the likes of Comedy Central, Canada’s Comedy Network, Just for Laughs, etc.

‘The Trolley Dollies in The Triplets of Bellville’ at Theatre On The Bay 12 – 30 April 2022

‘The Trolley Dollies in The Triplets of Bellville’

Venue: Pieter Toerien’s Theatre On The Bay

Dates: 12 – 30 April 2022

The Trolley Dollies in The Triplets Of Bellville.

Who hasn’t heard of The Trolley Dollies™? Come on! During the course of the last 5 years, they’ve opened a theatre, produced 13 original productions, appeared in every magazine and newspaper this side of Uitenhage and peered down at you from any billboard that stood still long enough to be climbed by an arthritic, middle-aged drag queen! In short, from 2016 onwards, the Mother City was bombarded, terrorized and titivated by the self-proclaimed Queens of the Sky, and there appeared to be no stopping them.

And then, at the end of 2021, they mysteriously disappeared.

What in the name of Judy Garland happened to them?

The truth is, after all those years of being cooped up in a little theatre on Bree street, Cathy, Holly and Molly can barely stand to be in the same room anymore. These three sisters from different misters, like any other siblings, have many skeletons in their collective closet, and their day of reckoning has arrived.

The claws are out, the “T” is being spilled and the dirty laundry is being given a very public airing…

Chomping at the bit to get the DL on these XL size queens? Buy a ticket!

Blood may be thicker than water, but so is arsenic!

Ticket prices: R250 – R350 through Computicket or (021) 438-3300

Running time: Approx’ 75 minutes with no interval.

Note: Tickets sold in pairs.

PG16.
