NOT FAMOUS! FOR RHUMBELOW


(Jem Atkins)

Comedian Jem Atkins is undeniably hilarious in his latest solo offering - Not Famous!

After a sold-out three-night run at the Seabrooke’s Theatre in August, receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike, Atkins returns to Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban for a run from October 4 to 6.

So if you didn’t get to see the renowned funnyman in action…now’s your chance! The review on artSMart stated: “Hilarious! One certainly gets their money’s worth!”

It’s Atkins’s third solo comedy show…and this time it’s personal! He lets audiences peak behind the curtain in this laugh-a-minute exposé of the real life of one of South Africa’s funniest performers!

From surviving divorce, to overcoming addiction and crippling performance anxiety, to the highs and lows of ‘making it big’ in Durban, Atkins is wildly entertaining and brutally honest.

He’ll share some priceless tips on how to survive tough economic times, the beautiful madness of fatherhood and the hilarious hazards of online dating, all while poking fun at everyday South African life.

Not Famous! runs from October 4 to 6 with performances on Friday and Saturday at 20h00 and on Sunday at 14h00. The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.

Tickets R150 (R130 pensioners and tables of eight or more).

Take along food picnic baskets. Braais will be available and food is available to purchase at the venue. There is limited secure parking and booking is essential. A cash bar is available (no alcohol may be brought on to the premises). Rhumbelow Durban is situated at 42 Cunningham Road off Bartle Road in Umbilo.
