In 2023 het nuuskierige gehore opgedaag om te sien hoe internetsensasie, Mel die Storieverteller in lewende lywe op ‘n verhoog lyk. Nou stroom almal na haar vertonings want Mel is toe skreeusnaaks in die regte lewe ook (vir mans en vroue). In haar derde komiese een-vrou vertoning, Internet Sensasie, gaan gehore uitvind dat Mel nou kan sing ook.  

Mel deel uit eerstehandse ervaring stories vanuit die elektroniese oerwoud vol aandagsoekers en liggelowiges: Oom Riekert se groot fout, ‘n beplande vuisgeveg in ‘n taai plek met die naam KuduKraal, hoe ‘Mel die Storieverteller’ ontstaan het en die siekte op haar voorkop.

Die stories is vars, onverwags en bleddie belaglik, maar blykbaar alles waar, wel, so sê Facebook, en ons almal weet wat op die internet staan is ‘n feit, maar kan

Mel laat jou tuis voel. Jy WIL luister wat sy sê. En dan lag jy boonop baie."

From the creators of the multi-award winning “Vincent – His Quest To Love and Be Loved”, comes a brand-new musical about the life of comedic genius, Charlie Chaplin. 

The Tramp played by Daniel Anderson and accompanied by Paul Ferreria, is Charlie Chaplin’s alter ego: a new musical that tells the story of Charlie Chaplin through the perspective of his old friend the beloved Tramp character.  The show follows The Tramp as he reflects on Chaplin's rise to fame.  He ponders on their symbiotic relationship, and the eventual betrayal of their friendship, that led to Chaplin's exile from America for communist sympathies. 

The retelling of Charlie’s story through popular music and silent film gives a fresh view on the life of the iconic, yet controversial comedic genius. The Tramp was everyman’s champion shielding a shy, moody, fastidious Chaplin. And with the arrival of the talking movies, the Tramp was sidelined, and Chaplin himself stepped into the limelight. With this newfound voice, Charlie tarnishes his image with naïve political speeches and scandalous love affairs. without the Tramp in his corner, he became an easy target for the cross-dressing J Edgar Hoover and his handmaiden, the gossipmonger Hedda Hopper.

“The Tramp” explores the complicated bond between an artist and the character they create, blending comedy and tragedy in a heartfelt reflection on fame, identity, and betrayal.

“A ten-out-of-ten production” – Robyn Sassen, MYVIEW

“Daniel Anderson’s stunning one-man cabaret doesn’t just resurrect Charlie, it excavates the heart-breaking human cost behind the world’s beloved silent clown. A fantastic show… it is theatre that reminds us why live performance matters”. – Barry Morisse
