ASK any plus-size person what life is like at the heavier end of the scale and they’ll tell you some good, some bad, and some funny stories. Now these highs and lows are brought to the stage in Bigly Yuge, an entertaining new comedy which runs in The Playhouse Loft in Durban, between 4 and 15 December.
This new collaboration is the brainchild of award-winning actors, Bongani Mbatha, Mduduzi Nombela and Xolani ‘XD Black’ Dlamini – each with impressive track records in Stage, TV and screen – who have teamed up with crack writer, Clinton Marius, and noted director, Tony Kgorokge, to create a stage comedy that explores what life is like for plus-size people.

Combining comedy, drama, song and dance, the three talented performers present a jolly mash-up of life in the large lane. From dieting to exercise, from people pointing fingers and passing unkind remarks, to the strain on relationships; and the inability even to find a relationship, all the downsides to being a large person are explored in this new production.
Expect loads of laughs and a few tears in this hot new stage production. Show times are Wednesdays to Saturdays at 7pm, with Saturday matinees at 2pm and Sunday shows at 3pm. Tickets are R100.
