Don’t miss rollicking Christmas show
Captain Redbeard and Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure is set for the stage this festive season.
GET ready for another rollicking festive outing with Durban’s favourite funny man as Aaron McIlroy reprises his collaboration with actor-director Patrick Kenny with the return by popular demand of their fun-filled 2016 family show, Captain Redbeard and Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure.
We find ourselves in Santa’s returns department, where all ‘left-overs’ and unwanted gifts land up. Captain Redbeard (McIlroy) and his hapless side-kick Jeff (played by Kenny) have been commissioned by Mrs Claus to field complaints from undeserving children who aren’t prepared to care for their new possessions.
McIlroy and Kenny have concocted an uproarious narrative whose dumb-and-dumber style melds the joyous absurdities of the world of Roald Dahl, with a hint of the lusty antics that underpin the much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Set to send comedy sparks flying, this hour-long entertainment presented by MacBob Productions is laced with a heady mix of seasonal songs, ranging from the likes of favourite items such as Mary’s Boy Child to I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and Santa is Coming to Town. These are performed with gusto by a group of talented senior primary and high school youngsters. The show also includes a delightful guest appearance by one of our most beguiling vocalists, Shannon Kenny.
Captain Redbeard and Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure plays at Durban’s Olive Tree Church in Florida Road, Morningside on Thursday 7 December at noon, Friday 8 December at noon and 2.30pm and from Monday 11 December to Saturday 16 December at noon.
