Evita Bezuidenhout will bring humour to Women’s Day weekend
There will be a surprise in each show as Tannie has invited some very special friends to join her
Pieter-Dirk Uys and Evita Bezuidenhout are often mentioned in the same breath but they could never be in the same room together, or meet one another face to face.
She has been in his satirical cluster for over 30 years and he keeps on dieting for her. And yet, once in a blue moon, the impossible is not so unlikely: both Pieter-Dirk Uys and Evita Bezuidenhout will be on stage together.
During Women’s Day weekend on August 9 and 10, Uys will give his first performances at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace. He will bring an entire company to support Tannie Evita: some old, some blue, some borrowed – but all for you!
Forget not the politicians that have always been his scriptwriters from way back in the 1980s, and today the democratic government of a rainbow nation does not let him down. And now that the EFF has introduced stand-up comedy in Parliament in matching red berets to match the red faces around them, laughter is foremost in the land.
EVITA & CO will feature much-loved characters such as the ever-green Nowell Fine from Saxonwold, the always opinionated Mrs Petersen from the Cape Flats, the outrageous sex-guru Madame Bambi Kellermann, as well as the political Number Ones, Twos and Threes that have made up our complement of kings, clowns and comrades.
There will be a surprise in each show as Tannie has invited some very special friends to join her for a Women’s Day chat, maybe also a song, but always a dance of entertainment.Tickets start at R100 and there are two performance on Saturday, at 5pm and 8pm, and one on Sunday at 3pm. Bookings are at Computicket.
