WIN: The classy meets the common in theatre show

TWO riotously hilarious and versatile performers can be seen in a laugh-a-minute clash of cultures at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre this February.

The ultra-classy Ian von Memerty reluctantly teams up with the unashamedly Philistine from De Aar, Gino Fabbri for an outrageous musical comedy, Common and Class from 6 to 17 February.
The uncommon combustible clash of breeding and culture pits drummer-comedian Fabbri’s dynamic drumming and guitar-playing against Von Memerty’s pyrotechnic piano-ism, resulting in a roller-coaster of musical contradictions.

Their mismatched machinations sees ‘the ‘battle of the twits’ moving effortlessly from rock to Rocky Horror, Boeremusiek to Broadway and country to classical, even sharing a masterclass on how not to look sexy on the dance-floor along the way.

Common is convinced that Class “has a giant stick up his arse”, while Class considers working with Common akin to “climbing Mount Everest, naked, carrying an inbred Yeti on my back.”
Class musters all the self-control he can as he is dragged kicking and screaming through country cowboy-land, while the finer expressions of classical music whistle past Common like a tumbleweed trundling through a deserted town.

The confusion of Ian’s anally retentive Class being forced to work with the dim-witted but moronically enthusiastic Common is the back-bone to a show that brings belly laugh after belly laugh!
When these two explosive talents combine, hilarity ensues and stomach-muscles are given a strenuous work-out as two witty and beloved entertainers take merciless pot shots at each other in the guise of their alter-egos. To quote one dazzled and delighted reviewer: “I laughed myself a six-pack.”
