MARRIAGE FOR DUMMIES



(Aaron McIlroy & Lisa Bobbert)

Whether you’re married, been married or haven’t even thought of marriage, this is the ideal date night comedy! (Review by Khinali Bagwandeen)

Husband and wife team Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert are back with their hilarious comedy, Marriage for Dummies. Being one of Durban’s most loved comedy duos, it was no surprise that their performance left the audience in stitches!

The show is tactically structured as a “marriage seminar” and the audience is treated to different chapters of the trials and tribulations that come with being married and essentially, staying married.

The topic of marriage itself can often be turned into comic brilliance, but it was their hysterical breakaways into song, lyrical changes, and multiple characters that were made up of simple, yet relatable characteristics that make this stand out from the rest.

Bobbert and McIlroy both play characters, which have the perfect amount of sass and brilliance to keep you wanting more and practically off your seat. Whether you’re married, been married or haven’t even thought of marriage, this is the ideal date night comedy!

Marriage for Dummies will run until March 11, 2018 at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. Performances are at 19h30 (Tuesdays to Saturdays) and 18h00 (Sundays). Tickets R150 booked through Computicket or on 0861 915 8000 or online at www.computicket.com - Khinali Bagwandeen
