ABRA-VIAGRA AT RHUMBELOW



(Stephen Cloete & Ricki Gray)

International entertainers, illusionist Ricki Gray and comedy magician Stephen Cloete re-unite their impressive stage skills in a show designed to amaze and amuse.

Coming to Rhumbelow Theatre this weekend, the hit show Abra-Viagra has toured southern Africa, including neighbouring countries but has not yet been seen by KZN audiences. The show stars two amazing performers who between them have enthralled hundreds of thousands of people internationally.

Ricki Gray is one of the few illusionists worldwide to have been invited to perform for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II under royal command. Stephen Cloete hasn't. However, he has worked as entertainer and cruise director on dozens of luxury cruise ships in America, United Kingdom and in South Africa. His unique brand of razor sharp wit is not to be missed.

Audiences can look forward to mind-blowing illusions, magic, stand-up comedy, audience participation and side-splitting laughter.

Shows take place in Pietermaritzburg on May 18 at 14h00 and 20h30 at the Allan Wilson Shellhole.

The production then moves to Rhumbelow Durban for performances from May 23 to 25 and May 30 to June 1 with Friday and Saturday performances at 20h00. Sunday’s show on May 25 is at 18h30 while there are two shows on June 1 – at 14h00 and 18h30. The venues open 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.
