Laugh until the tears stream with two of Afrikaans comedy’s funniest characters
Are you bored of your husband’s face resembling a goat looking down a steep hill? Here is the cure.
Does your wife look more and more like her passport photo every day?
Then the time has come to buy your tickets to Dowwe Wicus en Dolla van der Merwe, which will be on stage at the Mardi Gras Theatre at Carnival City May 4.
Afrikaans comedy icons, Wicus van der Merwe and Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck, better known as Dowwe Dolla, have joined forces for this hilarious production.
Away with all the bigots, potbelly-bloaters, the moaners and the groaners. Away with the party poopers and the busybodies, the wet blankets and the worrywarts, the cock-eyed aunties and the sad sacks. Away with all the over-nuanced, goody two shoes, politically correct holier-than-thou cynics.
It is time to laugh until the tears stream down your cheeks.

“See the lighter side of life in authentic South African style with two of Afrikaans comedy’s greats.
“For up to the minute laughs to melt the autumn blues, don’t miss this one,” says Michelle Smith, marketing manager at Carnival City.
Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck, as short as her surname is long, is the woman behind Dowwe Dolla.
She is a woman who does not know how to not be busy, and for that matter, also does not know how to keep quiet.
Busy as a beaver with a bee in her bonnet might be an apt way to describe this formidable woman, or perhaps that good things come in small packages.
Whichever description you prefer, know that she has more energy than her small frame is able to contain, and describes herself as impudent, insolent and just plain cheeky.
Wicus van der Merwe was born in Clanwilliam in 1972, eldest child of the legendary Tolla van der Merwe and his wife, Marieta.

His mother always said he does not shy away from the limelight, and it was inevitable for him to end up on stage, one way or another.
He started out life in the insurance industry but, his talent proved to be too much for the insurance industry and he released his first CD in December 2002.
His initial release was followed by six more CDs and two DVDs, four of which achieved gold status.
Wicus is also a well-known presenter on television and has hosted two of the biggest concerts in the South African entertainment industry: Skouspel and Skouspel Plus.
The show starts at 8pm.
