THERE are some interesting shows on the go this coming week.
Markets
Fresh and fabulous market
THE Macnut Farm in Lello Road, Assagay, hosts a Sunday Fresh Produce Market for locals to buy and sell home-grown produce in picture-perfect surroundings.
Paul Paine, the convenor, said the idea behind the market was to create an opportunity for visitors and locals to buy home-grown, farm and fresh produce from source.
There will be a Sunday lunch, drinks and a bar available.
The market will be open from 11:00 until 14:00, and there is no charge either to sell or to enter. Traders are also welcome. For more info, contact the farm on 031 765 2572.
There is on-site parking.
Macnut Farm is a member of 1000 Hills Community Tourism Organisation.

Comedy, cabaret and frivolity
JOIN international cabaret artist Tonya Koenderman in her hilarious comedy cabaret, Growing Old Disgracefully, a light-hearted, frank look at the funny side of ageing.
All your favourite songs will be featured, with a wicked twist. The evergreen but, perhaps, dated These Are a Few of My Favourite Things has been rebooted to embrace more age-appropriate themes. All in all, you can look forward to a side-splitting night of entertainment and fun-filled frivolity. Sorry, in advance, for the new laugh lines.
Koenderman will perform at the Rhumbelow Theatre (42 Cunningham Road, Durban) on Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19, at 19.30 and 14:00 respectively.
Tickets are R180 per person.
