Friday 21 August 7:30pm - An Unexpected Guest and Lady Marmalade

Saturday 22 August 2:30pm - An Unexpected Guest and Lady Marmalade 

Saturday 22 August 7:30pm - The Black Bird and Bottle Service 

The line up:

The Black Bird - written by Clive Myburgh and directed by Kerith Coulson

Looking for somewhere to be alone, a young couple retreat to a remote bird hide deep in the forest. There, they find an elderly birdwatcher enjoying a peaceful morning. What begins as an unlikely encounter takes a dark turn when the old man becomes convinced a terrible creature is hunting them from the skies above.

As fear, suspicion and uncertainty take hold, the line between reality and imagination begins to blur, and the young couple must find a way to escape the threats both inside and outside the hide.

Suspenseful and deeply moving, The Black Bird is a haunting exploration of the things we fear losing most.

Bottle Service - written by Savannah Steyn and directed by Andrea Grant

A Mommy and Me class. Two babies. Two overwhelmed men. What could possibly go wrong?

When successful businessman Michael and easy-going Caleb find themselves stranded together in a room full of seasoned parents, survival quickly becomes a team effort. Between disastrous sing-alongs, parenting mishaps and the ever-present threat of public embarrassment, the pair form an unexpected bond while trying to keep their tiny companions alive, happy and relatively clean.

Funny, warm and unexpectedly moving, Bottle Service is a heartfelt comedy about modern fatherhood, chosen family and the small moments that can change a life.

An Unexpected Guest - written by Lindy Wilson and directed by Kaulana Williams

Set against the backdrop of 1965 America, An Unexpected Guest follows three young South Africans whose lives have been shaped by the struggle against apartheid.

When a troubled former activist arrives unannounced at the Virginia cottage of newlyweds Mark and Justine Rutherford, their fragile sanctuary begins to unravel. As the Civil Rights Movement gathers momentum around them and the Vietnam War looms ever closer, memories of home intrude and painful truths emerge.

Moving between the personal and the political, this thoughtful and deeply human drama explores loyalty, identity and responsibility, asking what happens when ideals collide with reality—and whether friendship can survive the burden of betrayal.

Lady Marmalade - written by Kudzai Mhangwa and directed by Tanya Smith

Every year, on the anniversary of her death, the legendary dancer Lady Marmalade is said to return to the graveyard where she is buried to perform one final dance.

When rumours of the famous dancer's return draw aspiring ghost hunter Elisa and her deeply sceptical mother to a lonely graveyard, an unusual cast of ghost hunters, sceptics and family members soon find themselves caught up in a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

Filled with sharp humour, eccentric characters and unexpected twists, Lady Marmalade is a light-hearted comedy about legends, obsession, and the stories we choose to believe.

Andre The Hilarious Hypnotist makes his yearly return in 2026 with “Planned Pandemonium”

After 35 years on stage, Andre is back on tour in 2026 with a bold new show: “Planned Pandemonium.” This year marks a clear shift in direction while staying true to the core idea that built his reputation.

Andre sees himself as both a comedian and a hypnotist. With years of drama training behind him, his performance is built on timing, structure, and real connection with the audience. The goal is simple: a genuinely funny night out where people can sit back, relax, and actually enjoy themselves.

The idea behind the show hasn’t changed: the audience becomes the show. Volunteers step into the spotlight and become the stars of the night. What’s different this year is the structure. The show features a wide range of new routines, mixed with the strongest material from past performances.

For those who’ve followed Andre over the years, this isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement. A consolidation. It combines what worked, what evolved, and what still delivers. The result is a fast-paced, unpredictable experience based on moments tested in front of real audiences.

No two performances are identical. Each show depends entirely on who’s in the room. Their personalities shape what happens on stage. The show is designed with a family audience in mind. However, only people aged 16 and older can volunteer to come on stage.

Participation is always voluntary. No one is pushed, pressured, or singled out against their will. Andre is strict about this. Everyone who steps on stage does so because they genuinely want to. While many people come hoping to determine whether hypnosis is “real,” Andre doesn’t try to persuade anyone of anything. Instead, he asks the audience to relax, suspend disbelief for a while, and simply enjoy the experience. After the show, the question remains theirs to answer: were the volunteers truly hypnotised, or was something else at play?

Skepticism is normal—and welcome. Andre addresses it openly. He also makes one thing very clear: in 35 years, he has never paid anyone to take part in a show. That’s not changing now. “Planned Pandemonium” is the one show where the audience doesn’t just watch the action; many become part of it, even if only for one evening.

Andre wishes to emphasise that, although his show is not specifically aimed at one language, he recognises that we live in a very diverse country. Therefore, the show is structured so that both languages — Afrikaans and English — are included throughout the entire performance.

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.

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!
