On Broadway Presents FUNNY GIRLS 8/10

On Broadway will be celebrating Women's Day with two of South Africa's funniest female comedians coming together for the first time on our stage! When trying to name the show the girls first thought of the name RELOADED, but arguments ensued as they couldn't decide on the meaning of this - Mel immediately thought of her bank card and Tracy of her chemist prescription - so to avoid further fights they settled on FUNNY GIRLS - because that's what they are!

Mel and Tracy visit the same subject matter but with completely different viewpoints - from age, to experience, to their backgrounds - from Sea Point to Mitchell's Plain - however they have the same worries in common, money and they are both single mothers of teenage children!

Both have Facebook pages and big Facebook followings, Mel knows how to work hers, Tracy has to call her kids!

This show promises to keep you rolling in the aisles with laughter, a great alternative to a gym workout - and will be interactive with the audience. So gather together your book clubs, lift clubs, coffee clubs and bring all your female friends and ever-suffering men down to On Broadway for two nights only!

The Dutch singer/songwriter, Stef Bos will visit some Boland towns this August. This Cape visit will also see Bos perform, for the first time, in the heart of Cape Town, at On Broadway.

PAUL SNODGRASS in I'M SO LONELY
THURSDAY 11th to SATURDAY 13th AUGUST 2011
Tickets R85 per person, Students R65, groups of 10 or more R75

Paul Snodgrass is back with his hit one-man show I'M SO LONELY from the 11th to 13th August 2011 at On Broadway. After a sold-out run at the Baxter Theatre, Snoddie will perform the show for the last time, before starting on his next one man show.

For 3 nights only come and see the man described as South Africa's funniest angry comic. The Pocket Ginger, who received a 5-star review at the Edinburgh Festival will walk the fine line in his observations on the differences between men and women, and why he thinks he's still single!

If you're not sure, check out some reviews from the first run of this show:
"Paul has a magnetic attraction. He draws his audience in with a deadly combination of boyish charm, sharp anger and woeful loneliness."
"Paul has his finger firmly to the pulse of the audience, delivering lines and jokes that jab you straight in the funny bone, sending you into spasms of giggles. And his ability to (emotionally) expose himself on stage is, at times, startling and almost unnerving, but utterly captivating."
"Seriously, this show is like 'Defending the Caveman' on cocaine after a bender. There are no holds barred and that is exactly why I, and the rest of the audience, loved the 'angry leprechaun' so much. And his bit on the Southern Suburb rugby boiis! Come now, it was too much. He nailed them so badly if I were on of them I'd be afraid to pop my collar or wear Ed Hardy ever again."

All shows begin at 20h30.
