‘Married … But Not To Each Other’ Tour
6 JULY — Comedy’s modern traditionalist and the bad momma of comedy – Ndumiso Lindi and Tumi Morake – are taking their rib-cracking, hilarious new stand-up show, Married … But Not To Each Other to Silverstar Casino. While travelling together on a comedy adventure, Ndumiso Lindi and Tumi Morake were asked by a customs official: “Are you married?” Ndumiso quickly replied “Yes”, realised what he was saying and added “But not to each other”. And thus began the comical journey for this wife and husband of other people. Tickets are available through Computicket. Visit www.computicket.com or a Computicket outlet near you.
Mikado at Roodepoort Theatre
6-8 JULY — The Johannesburg WA Mozart Choir proudly presents The Mikado at the Roodepoort Theatre. The Mikado remains the most successful and widely performed of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operas. Set in an imaginary Japan in a remote period, the story was described by Gilbert himself as a satire on the failings of the British government of the time, and certainly makes sharp comment on British society of the era. Shows will run from 7.30pm on Friday and Saturday, as well as from 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. The production promises a fun-filled evening of glorious musical entertainment by one of Johannsburg’s leading choirs. For bookings, phone Sheila on 011 763 6583 or Lynette on 072 265 2272, or book online at https://www.quicket.co.za/events/42897-the-mikado/. Tickets are R200.
