Mel die Storieverteller keer terug met Internet Sensasie, ’n een-vrou vertoning wat die chaos, komedie en karakters van die aanlynwêreld lewendig maak. Sy deel skerp, snaakse en amper-onmoontlik-ware ervarings — van internethelde tot twyfelagtige dorpies en haar eie vreemde ontstaanstorie. Met nuwe musiek, nuwe stories en haar bekende skerp tong wys Mel hoekom sy van ’n internetsensasie na ’n internasionale verhooggunsteling ontwikkel het. Further Info: 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 betwyfel word, tensy jy dit wil glo!

Ovation Award Winner at the 2024 National Arts Festival in Makhanda, Odd Man Out is a razor-sharp, self-deprecating journey through the strange contradictions of modern adult life. Known for his unique storytelling style, Stuart takes an honest look at what it means to be a little out of place, and how sometimes, that’s exactly where the comedy lives. In Odd Man Out, Stuart proves that being the oddball isn’t a curse; it’s a comedy jackpot. Life as a suburban comedian in his 40s feels like one big punchline he didn’t sign up for, and Stuart is here to share all the hilariously awkward moments. From his teenage years as a magic-obsessed misfit (spoiler: the audience disappeared) to battling the middle-age spread in a gym full of fitness fanatics, he’s been awkward at every stage of life.
Taylor’s skill lies in his ability to turn everyday misadventures into side-splitting commentary. With his trademark wit and down-to-earth delivery, Stuart Taylor has built a loyal fan base across South Africa and beyond. And in Odd Man Out, he’s at the top of his game.

“cleverly crafted, emotionally grounded, and consistently hilarious,” praising its “sharp timing,” “warm authenticity,” and the performer’s ability to have the audience “laughing one moment and deeply moved the next.” - Cue

“Odd Man Out” is worth checking out if you're looking for something to help you destress... Be prepared to fight back tears - but from laughter - as this show is sure to deliver. – IOL Entertainment

A woman should have it all – a career and a family! But what if you don’t? Karlien and Caitlyn are at their 20-year reunion, bracing for the “What have you been up to?” questions. One has the family, the other the career. Neither is sure they have what they want. Your Perfect Life is a poignant and funny look at how life can take unexpected turns and how society judges us for dealing with it the best way we can. It’s also the recipient of two Standard Bank Ovation Awards - 2019 and 2021. Starring Faeron Wheeler and Erika Breytenbach.

“I loved this show because it is so real. It reminded me of the many special people who have moved in and out of my life. And how, no matter if your path has been a career double-decker highway or an obstacle course to avoid stepping on Lego, the essence of being human remains.” - Sam Says

“Breytenbach and Wheeler have a great chemistry between them that is genuine to watch … An exposé of "perfection", F Creations has brought authenticity to the forefront with this endearing slice-of-life.” - Lindsay Kruger, Broadway World

“Loved this sassy, smart, funny comedy-drama. It’s fun, insightful, stylish; written with a wry eye … Your Perfect Life taps into an important discourse.” - The Cape Robyn

Die produksie is spesiaal vir babas (vanaf 4 maande oud) en kleuters, geïnspireer deur jong kinders se verbeelding om enige tyd, enige plek en met enige iets te kan bel! Van kleins af is daar ’n diepgewortelde behoefte om te kommunikeer, in ons ingeweef. Die teater is die ideale plek, vir enige ouderdom, om dit verder te verken!

Schoemé Steenkamp previously charmed the tiniest theatre-goers at The Drama Factory with Babah-Go-Round and Babah-Go-Wild. Now she’s back with a brand-new Theatre for the Very Early Years adventure: Trieng! - made possible by the Klein KKNK Theatre.
