Currently performing to packed houses and rave reviews in Cape Town, renowned and award-winning funnyman Alan Committie will soon be heading to Jozi to stage his annual brand-new stand-up offering, as he reflects on the year that was.
Joburg audiences, get ready for his side-splitting Comedy Gold, on stage at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 19 February – 16 March 2025.
In Comedy Gold, Committie will once again award comedy medals to all the quibbles, foibles, outrageous inconsistencies and multiple inefficiencies that made up modern living in 2024/5.
From elections and appalling selections, through Air BnB’s and deleted WhatsApp messages 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. Or even flipcharts.
Always.
Although not a trained athlete in the traditional sense, Committie is a highly respected and well regarded member of the Lower Blairgowrie Amateur Association 7th team badminton squad (reserves).
And apparently doesn’t eat carbs on a Tuesday.
Did I mention there will be flipchart(s)?
Committie comments; “Comedy Gold is my 27th solo stand-up show and this year’s band new comedy offering promises some silly surprises and variations on a theme.
I attempt a tryptich of flipchart mind maps. THREE flipcharts at once! A feat never attempted before by any sane person.
It’s school stationery taken to a new level. No CNA, just RSA.”
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.
The show runs from 19 February -16 March at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre in Fourways.
Performances are Wednesdays – Fridays @ 19h30, Saturdays @ 16h00 & 19h30, Sundays @ 15h00.
Tickets range from R150 – R260 and bookings are through Webtickets. Alternatively, you can contact the Box Office at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre at 011 511 1988.
For group bookings, email Geraldine at geraldine@montetheatre.co.za or call 011 511 1988.
Comedy Gold is 90 minutes in duration with no interval.
With his signature dry humour, Committie concludes; “Jozi audiences are always a delight and I am already tweaking and refining the material so that I can get maximum laughs from them. Cape Town audiences have raved, but they were laughing at prime holiday prices; Jozi is the real deal. I am ironing my shirt as we speak.”
