(Patrick Kenny & Aaron
McIlroy)
Get ready for another rollicking festive outing with
Durban’s favourite funny man!
Aaron McIlroy reprises his collaboration with actor-director
Patrick Kenny - co-writer and director of McIlroy’s award winning Comedy Masterclass, and Funny Father Christmas- with the return
by popular demand of their fun-filled 2016 family show, Captain Redbeard and Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure.
We find ourselves in Santa’s returns department, where all ‘left-overs’
and unwanted gifts land up. Captain Redbeard (McIlroy) and his hapless
side-kick Jeff (played by Kenny) have been commissioned by Mrs Claus to field
complaints from undeserving children who aren’t prepared to care for their new
possessions.
McIlroy and Kenny have concocted an uproarious narrative
whose off-the-wall, dumb-and-dumber style melds the joyous absurdities of the
world of Roald Dahl, with a hint of the lusty antics that underpin the
much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Set to send comedy sparks flying, this hour-long
entertainment presented by MacBob Productions is laced with a heady mix of
seasonal songs, ranging from the likes of favourite items such as Mary’s Boy Child to I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and Santa is Coming to Town. These are performed with gusto by a group
of talented senior primary and high school youngsters. The show also includes a
delightful guest appearance by one of our most beguiling vocalists, Shannon
Kenny.
Captain Redbeard and
Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure plays at Durban’s Olive Tree Church in
Florida Road, Morningside. Performances are on December 7 at 12h00; December 8 at
12h00 and 14h30; and from December 11 to 16 at 12h00. Tickets are R85 per
