Third Wheel Improv presents: A Night of Short Form Improv

Join us for an evening of hilarity, giddiness, and yes, the occasional guffaw, as some of Cape Town's most experienced improvisers conjure comical scenes out of thin air — inspired entirely by your suggestions. No script. No safety net. Just pure, unfiltered comedy, made up on the spot.

Featuring: Bill Russell, Eva Gilliam, Justine Beukes, Rob Coutts, Siphumziwe Pags Lucwaba, Tamith Hattingh, Thomas Dods

Show: 19h00 for 19h30

Gen Admission: R150 | Pensioners (60+): R125

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!  Join our Short Form Improv Mechanics Workshop first.

Before the curtain goes up, spend the afternoon with Third Wheel cast members getting under the hood of classic short form games. 

We’ll decode how some of your favourite short form games actually work, figuring out the specific triggers that make them funny, and learning how to let the game rules do the heavy lifting so you don't have to force the comedy.

You'll walk away knowing why some rounds fly and others stall, and the practical tricks that make short form effortless to play.

Who it's for: Improvisers and performers who want to sharpen their game play, pick up the pace, and master short form mechanics.

Workshop: 14h00–16h30

Workshop + Show combo: R350 (Limited spots available)

Join us for the debut performance of ‘Awakening’ an exploration of the origins of our world and the human beings within it. Workshopped and co-created by Helios, an independent group of grade 7s and their teacher, Elinor Driver.

Weaving origin stories from around the world together into a web of questions, pictures, colours and sound this production is the culmination of the group’s primary school theatre journey and is an exploration of some of the answers that myths, stories and science give us to the big questions of what it means to be human and how we came to be here.

Please note, this is an amateur production and a fundraiser for Helios, a small independent, equal access class group in Marina da Gama. All proceeds from the play will go towards covering the production costs and any additional profits will go towards supporting our class trip in November.

For September's play reading, we're delving into Standing Ovation at the Tachiagaru by Coleen van Staden.

The evening will include a table read of the play by actors, followed by a discussion of the work. The discussion will be led by the host for the evening and a panel of experts. Input from the audience is most welcome!

About the play

In our digital world, true crime enthralls millions, breeding cyber sleuths, couch detectives, and podcasters. This dark comedy is as much the story of one such podcaster, Sam, who revels in the drama of his latest tale, as it is about the very tale itself -  a  bizarre murder at a stand-only bar in a Tokyo street.

Sam's podcast is "theatre of the mind," where the narrative comes alive. You won't just hear the story; you'll see it, smell it, and feel it exactly as HE does. It's Kabuki meets Film Noir meets Soap Opera where life might just end up imitating art.

More about the writer, Coleen van Staden

Coleen fell in love with the stage as a child when she did ballet for 6 years and then performed in outdoor concerts on Sea Point Beach front.  She started a drama club in junior school called Clique Playhouse and ran improv sessions every break time. Coleen has performed  in lots of comedy, drama, and musical theatre productions, before moving on to directing and writing shows for the stage. In 2016, she formed Circle Productions  NPC with theatre bestie, Celia Musikanth. During lockdown, Coleen was part of an online group called Globesoup.net, where she enjoyed the challenge of word counts and themes.  This particular play is adapted from a short story she wrote for a competition in 2020.

In 2023 het nuuskierige gehore opgedaag om te sien hoe internetsensasie, Mel die Storieverteller in lewende lywe op ‘n verhoog lyk. Nou stroom almal na haar vertonings want Mel is toe skreeusnaaks in die regte lewe ook (vir mans en vroue). In haar derde komiese een-vrou vertoning, Internet Sensasie, gaan gehore uitvind dat Mel nou kan sing ook.  

Mel deel uit eerstehandse ervaring stories vanuit die elektroniese oerwoud vol aandagsoekers en liggelowiges: Oom Riekert se groot fout, ‘n beplande vuisgeveg in ‘n taai plek met die naam KuduKraal, hoe ‘Mel die Storieverteller’ ontstaan het en die siekte op haar voorkop.

Die stories is vars, onverwags en bleddie belaglik, maar blykbaar alles waar, wel, so sê Facebook, en ons almal weet wat op die internet staan is ‘n feit, maar kan betwyfel word, tensy jy dit wil glo!

God of Carnage

by Yasmina Reza | Directed by Bernie Jacobs

Presented by the Claremont Dramatic Society

Two couples meet to sort out a playground fight between their sons like civilised adults. Coffee is poured, apologies rehearsed, good intentions firmly in place. It doesn't last.

Yasmina Reza's Tony Award-winning comedy strips away the veneer of politeness one glass of rum at a time, as alliances shift, tempers fray, and the evening spirals into gloriously uncomfortable chaos. Beneath the manners lies something far more primal — and far funnier.

16–24 October | Masque Theatre

Language Advisory: This production contains strong and sensitive language and audience discretion is recommended for younger audience members.
