South African stand-up comedy Hall-of-Famer, Alan Committie, returns for the festive season with his latest, brand new stand up show: FAST AND REASONABLY FURIOUS!
On stage at Theatre On The Bay from 20 December, 2023 until 3 February, 2024.
Displaying his lightning fast wit, coupled with his madcap physicality, and renowned crowd engagement, this is Committie screeching his way across the stage with high octane, Vin-Diesel fuelled laughs for the holiday season.
What to expect?
- A flip-chart filled with flagrantly flippant fun-facts.
- Johan van der Walt, extemporising about eggs and chickens.
- Rants and rumination around Coronations, World Cup fever, Artificial Intelligence and so much more…
In addition, Committie is throwing in an interval, for free. Twenty minutes of time that you can use in any way you choose. No questions asked. If you choose not to leave the theatre auditorium during the interval period then your twenty minutes will be transferred to your eBucks account and can be used to purchase hopes and dreams at your nearest SPAR.
If you want to unwind after another 12 months of stressful survival then this is the release, relief and raucous night that you are looking for.
Perfect entertainment for your whole family (except that one uncle that nobody likes….do NOT invite him. For everyone’s sake).
Directed by Fleur du Cap Lifetime achievement winner Christopher Weare, and designed by tequila-sipping daytime achievement runner up Niall Griffin.
There is also a special NEW YEAR’S EVE performance at 21:00 on 31 December; come and see in the New Year with big laughs!
Alan Committie – faster than Cheslin Kolbe and yet the physique of Ox Nché… a comedy prop, who’s quite good at winging it.

The world’s most loved musical returns to South Africa this December!
Pieter Toerien, with Cape Town Opera, presents the much-anticipated revival tour of Rodgers & Hammerstein‘s classic musical, The Sound Of Music.
Performances begin at the Artscape Opera House on 14 December 2023; the show is the perfect holiday treat for the entire family.
“Of all the shows we have presented over the years, The Sound Of Music remains in the top five most requested shows by our audience. We are thrilled to be able to present this wonderful show to a whole new generation of musical fans”, says Toerien.
The Sound Of Music marks the 11th and final collaboration between legendary lyricists Rodgers & Hammerstein, and features a treasure trove of popular show tunes, including ‘My Favorite Things’, ‘Edelweiss’, ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain’, ‘Do-Re-Mi’, ‘Sixteen Going On Seventeen’, and many more.
The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Von Trapp, follows a young nun in-training who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain Von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
The original stage production won six Tony awards, including Best Musical, and was then adapted into the five-time Oscar-winning film, which went on to become the most-successful movie musical of all time.
Directed by Steven Stead, this new production, with sumptuous sets and costumes, and songs that will stay with you long after the curtain comes down, will be a stellar theatrical event.
