The ‘Virgin’ and the ‘Whore’. Two waitresses prepare themselves for another nauseating night on the battlefields of Horrifying Hospitalica! Armed with toothpick, their razor-sharp wit, and ripe, suck-able tits, they don their aprons, hoist their fishnets and limber up to perform In Whorefish Bloomers! An adaptation of Pam-Grant and Stannard's underground 1980s feminist ‘cabaret’. Two young Cape Town actresses take on the patriarchy one tit-bit at a time in this collection of pro-femme episodes stuffed with humour, word play, cheesy dance moves, a sprinkle of song and a drizzle of darkness. Further Info: Nominated for Best Production and Best Creative (Directing) Awards at the Cape Town Fringe and back after a sold out run in Johannesburg, don’t miss you last chance to see this high-energy, feminist comedy.

In this, his 20th one man comedy show, funny-man Committie presents a docu-comedy in the highest definition and promises everything we have come to love about his brand of comic madness…. Infectious energy, physical hi-jinx combined with witty wordplay and hysterical observations.
PLANET MIRTH is a comic look at….well….everything. Our planet has never been in a more precarious state and that makes it ripe for Committie to unpack how we got here, where we are and how the heck we are ever going to move forward.
Our obsession with hiking, Despacito, the science of sign language, the craziness of family gatherings, gallons of garnish and confusing astrology are just some of the topics he may (or may not talk about). I have no control over this fella. I simply write the media release….
It’s the perfect tonic to another mad year on this planet.
Book now. PLANET MIRTH – comedy on a global scale!!
Directed by fleur Du Cap Lifetime achievement winner – Christopher Weare. This is Committie and Weare’s 19th production in partnership with each other.
