Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 6 September to 22 September

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is Lottering’s newest stand-up show.  And yes, that really is his second name.

In this show, Lottering shares his findings on where he thinks his colourful family tree stems from.  As is to be expected, his viewpoints are hilariously outrageous after his mom, when he was little, promised him that they were all originally “blonde German-Caribbeans”.

Lottering is one of South Africa’s top comedians, having written 20 one-man shows and 3 smash hit musicals.  He has been nominated for, and received several prestigious theatre awards along the way.

This year, Lottering has been inducted into the Comics Choice Hall of Fame.

MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is not suitable for children.

THE RETURN OF ELVIS DU PISANIE

Written and Directed by Paul Slabolepszy
Starring Ashley Dowds

A story that moves from pure nostalgia, through extreme heartache, to unbridled joy… The Return of Elvis du Pisanie is all at once – sad, amusing and gloriously uplifting…

Eddie du Pisanie (played by Ashley Dowds) – a forty-six year old East Rand salesman – is retrenched and decides life is no longer worth living. He writes a suicide note to his wife and is about to gas himself in his car in the garage, when he switches on the car radio. The Elvis Presley song he hears does more than take him back 30 years – it recalls an event in his childhood that changed his life forever. Abandoning – for the moment – the idea of suicide, he drives the 200 kilometre journey to the town in which he grew up, to a lamp post opposite the ex-Carlton Bioscope in Witbank, there to retrace his life, to try to find out what went wrong, how it went wrong, and – perhaps most importantly – why it went wrong…
Can we change our own destinies…? “Elvis” du Pisanie is about to find out…
