BACK TO BORGE

Jonathan Roxmouth offers laugh-a-minute marathon through the wacky world of Danish pianist and comedian Victor Borge.

Rhumbelow Theatre offers a laugh-a-minute marathon through the wacky world of famous Danish pianist and comedian Victor Borge in his brand new one-man show, Back To Borge. In this show Jonathan Roxmouth (Naledi Award-winning star of Beauty and the Beast, Rock Me Amadeus and A Handful of Keys) is armed with nothing but a grand piano and an irreverent sense of humour.

Infusing his own style into classic Borge sketches such as Inflationary Language and Phonetic Punctuation, Jonathan picks up from where Borge left off and goes off on a tangent with some hysterical new material of his own. Add to that some dazzling pianistic prowess with music from Rachmaninoff to Paul Simon and a vocal tour de force in his own Phantom of the Opera in 10 Minutes and you have an evening guaranteed to leave you in stitches!

Shows take place from on January 22 and 23 at 20h00 and January 24 at 18h30 with further performances the following weekend on January 29 and30 at 20h00 and January 31 at 18h30. The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.

Tickets R100. Take along food picnic baskets and braais will be available. There is limited secure parking and booking is essential. A cash bar is available (no alcohol may be brought on to the premises). Rhumbelow Theatre is situated in Cunningham Avenue off Bartle Road.
