(Koobeshen Naidoo and Senzo Mthethwa)This year-end, the Dingalings production company offers in one bumper show, called Doubla - the two hit comedies The Boolulu Uncle and Desperate Husbands which will be performed as a double bill for two nights only at the Suncoast Supernova on November 26 and 27.
These two hugely popular one-man shows have enjoyed sold-out runs this year. Its double bill season affords Durban audiences one last opportunity to catch both these shows for the price of one.
The Boolulu Uncle took two awards at the recent Mercury Durban Theatre Awards – New Performer Male and Solo Performance for its star Senzo Mthethwa. This is a delightful tale based on Senzo’s own experiences of a young Zulu boy who grows up in an Indian home. The story is wry, witty, self-deprecating and gently nostalgic, as he recounts his amazing history growing up in the Chetty household. This warm funny story won the audiences award for the best play at the Musho Festival of one and two person theatre in January this year.
The other Dingaling offering, Desperate Husbands, is an adult comedy featuring comedy heavyweight Koobeshan Naidoo who pushes the boundaries in exploring sexual stereotypes. He takes a candid look at the battle of the sexes and how the Indian male has swopped the boardroom and high-powered jobs for the ironing board and babysitting the kids. Boyish good looks and a strong sense of humour has made Naidoo a favourite with comedy audiences.
Doubla: The Boolulu Uncle and Desperate Husbands runs at Suncoast Supernova on November 26 at 20h30 and on November 27 at 18h00 and 21h30. Tickets R100 booked through Suncoast Cine centre box office on 031 328 3349. The double bill carries a 2-18 age restriction.
