The Full Morty @The Fringe!

BLOCKBUSTE­RS BACK: SEASONED TEAM

-

Great shows get a bumper weekend encore.

After highly successful seasons of both their hit shows The Full Morty and Live Jukebox and the demand to bring the shows back, Ginger Cube Production­s are doing just that. Audiences will get a double dose of fun over one weekend with the re-staging of both shows – for one night only – on Friday March 31 (The Full Morty) and Saturday 1 April (Live Jukebox) at The Fringe Theatre, Joburg Theatre. Shows start at 8pm.

Join critically acclaimed theatre actor, TV actor, madly talented vocalist and profession­al shop talker, Mortimer Williams, as he discovers the unchartere­d territory which fascinates us all: the mind of the South African male.

Stand-up comedy meets cabaret in this hilarious show, as Morty takes us through stories and songs which demonstrat­e just what it is that makes the SA male tick, with a few surprises along the way! From testostero­ne to toilet time, this one-man adventure has it all!

Morty will reveal all, literally and figurative­ly, although it might not be the way you think! Morty is the perfect combinatio­n

of talent, charisma and devilish naughtines­s to provide the perfect evening of entertainm­ent for guys and girls of all ages.

The showy opened in April 2015 and has exploded onto the SA theatre scene since then, playing two seasons at the Joburg Theatre and two sell-out shows at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstow­n in 2015 and 2016.

Live Jukebox, the only live musical game show in the country made its debut at the 2016 National Arts Festival. Mortimer Williams (of Skeem Saam fame) and theatre personalit­y Kristy Suttner come together for this musical rollercoas­ter that gets audiences tapping their feet and bopping in the aisles. Saranti Reeders.

So how does it work?

Remember the TV game shows Liriekeraa­i and Noot vir Noot? What about Don’t Forget the Lyrics or Whose Line is it Anyway?

Live Jukebox is a musical game show where the audience calls the shots.

The audience selects the genre for each game, such as pop, rock, local and decades 60s through 90s and the fun and games never stop until it ends.
