THE Cape winter may be under way but don’t be a couch potato. Warm up with the comedy fare on offer at the Baxter

Sne Dladla’s new solo show, iChameleon is on from Tuesday until July 8 in the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio. After Dladla wraps up, downstairs in the main theatre, the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival is on from July 10 to August 6. In Grahamstow­n, there is fantastic line-up of internatio­nal and local comedy at the National Arts Festival from Thursday to July 9.

iChameleon is directed by Loukmaan Adams and produced by Nik Rabinowitz. Dladla, 26, is a wunderkind. The winner of two Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards and a Silver Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival for his first one-man show, The Joke’s On You, he moves seamlessly between drama, musicals and comedy.

Recently the cast was announced for the highly anticipate­d King Kong – the musical at the Fugard and Dladla has nabbed the role as the narrator, Pop.

Before seeing him in the musical, what can we expect with iChameleon?
