See all- ‘HOOFSEUN’: TOLLIE PARTON BY DIE ROODEPOORT TEATER!Roodepoort Theatre, Roodepoort
This time the 50+ FUN ZONE is taking a leap of exploration courage into the world of stand-up drag queen comedy. The show promises to be hilarious. I’m game if you are!
I listened to a radio interview with this actor / singer / artist recently, and I was intrigued by his intelligence and articulacy, as well as the rational purpose behind what he does, and how it links back to his childhood and adolescent years in a small South African town, where he was also Head Boy.
This is how the show is described: (For those who struggle with Afrikaans, get a friend to translate!):
‘Hoofseun is ‘n komiese, hoogs aansteeklike, semi-aanstootlike kykie na wat dit werklik beteken om ‘n klein Afrikaanse dorpie se verwagtinge in die gesig te staar, as ‘n drag queen. Wynand Kotze, Vanrhynsdorp se voormalige hoofseun, is nou ‘n fopdosser met die naam Tollie Parton. Hoe gebeur so iets? En die grootste vraag van almal: Hoekom bly mense dink sy is Casper de Vries met (groter) pramme?
Hoofseun is die nuutste stand-up comedy vertoning deur drag-superster Tollie Parton. Die show is propvol persoonlike stories oor haar dae as hoofseun, haar familie, en haar ervaringe binne die Afrikaner-gemeenskap. Tollie stel ook die land bekend aan haar nuwe liedjie, in samewerking met Loki Rothman.
Van Hoofseun na Hoofmeisie. Hier kom vetpret. Skuus. Mens mag nie meer vet sê nie. Die pret het 'n growwe beenstruktuur.Tickets: R 200.00 - https://www.wynvirdiepyn.com/events/tollie-in-roodepoort
As usual, we will meet for an early dinner inside the Roodepoort Theatre just before the show.
- RUGBY, LIVE MUSIC & UNLIMITED LAMB ON THE SPIT AT LOFTUS!Loftus Versveld Rugby Stadium, Pretoria
This is an all-day event, starting at 10:00.
‘Lamb Champs’ is a movement that celebrates South Africa’s family farmers, their expertise, and the world-class lamb they produce.
What makes lamb unique is that it remains one of the last meats still enjoyed in its purest form - as chops on the fire, bringing families and friends together. The ‘Lamb Champs’ initiative is sponsored by Pick n Pay, who is actively creating shelf space in their stores to allow South African consumers to engage with the stories behind the food they buy.
‘Lamb Champs’ educates, inspires, and ensures that family farming remains a thriving, sustainable profession for generations to come. All ticket holders will enjoy unlimited spit-roasted lamb; access to the beer tent, food stalls, and exhibitor stands; live performances by top South African artists throughout the day, and a live broadcast of the rugby match on the big screen.BUY YOUR OWN TICKETS AT:
