After a hugely successful season at Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre, Nik Rabinowitz’s hit solo show Stand and Deliver comes to Pieter Toerien’s Theatre at Montecasino in Johannesburg.
Stand and Deliver is directed by Brent Palmer with guest appearances by the hot new talent, Tats Nkonzo as Nik’s warm up act. Tats sings really funny songs, with his guitar, in a beautiful voice. This will confuse you. You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, you’ll love every minute, especially the hilarious songs he does with Nik at the end of the show.
One of only two Jewish boys to have been born in a stable, Nik Rabinowitz always wanted to be an accountant. It was a breakthrough performance reciting a speech at Shmuli Wiseglass’s barmitzvah that really cemented Nik’s future. This was enough to put his dreams of accountancy aside and pursue a life in stand-up comedy. Luckily for us, he chose the road less travelled. Luckily for him, his wife is a doctor.
In Stand and Deliver, Nik, a Xhosa-speaking Jew, explores the reasons that have led coloured people to believe that he is Coloured, why Afrikaners have settled in Israel, and how a grown man can end up saying things like, ‘daddy make hot for sossy’. While the poster might make it seem that the show is about Nik surfing in his underpants, we assure you it really isn’t. In fact, it has nothing to do with surfing and Nik almost never goes out in just his underpants.
Stand and Deliver runs at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 29 February to 11 March 2012, Tuesday to Friday at 8pm and on Saturdays at 5pm and 8pm. Tickets cost from R75 to R150 via Computicket and show details via 011 511 1988.
Please note the age restriction is PG 14.
