In 2011 EDDIE IZZARD, the man who turned talking `Bollocks` into an art form performed and sold?out Madison Square Garden in New York City. Never one to rest on his laurels IZZARD now plans to take on the world with a brand-new comedy tour, FORCE MAJEURE.
His last tour in South Africa sold out in hours and now the highly acclaimed, FORCE MAJEURE tour will be heading to South Africa in June 2013:

FORCE MAJEURE will be the most extensive comedy tour ever. It begins its mammoth journey around the globe during spring 2013. From Cardiff to Kathmandu, Moscow to Mumbai, EDDIE will visit 25 countries throughout Europe, USA, Africa, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal and The Far East.

In "HATS OFF" Jonathan Roxmouth (Naledi and Fleur du Cap winning star of Beauty and the Beast, Cats, Grease, Phantom of the Opera and A Handful of Keys) and LouisZurnamer (multi-nominated maestro of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Chess, Beauty and the Beast, CATS and Phantom of the Opera) team up to revisit the madcap musical antics of famous British comedy duo, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.
Sharing the stage with nothing but a baby grand piano (in tune if you are lucky) and their off-beat senses of humour (out of tune, if you arne`t) they explore the many humerous and downright silly songs of Flanders and Swann including the classic "G-nu Song", intoxicating "Madeira M`Dear" and the infection "Mud, MudGlorius Mud for Piano and Hippo".

Describes as an ingenious mix of Tom Lehrer, Gilbert and Sullivan and Monty Python, this is a comedy revue brimming with catchy tunes, tongue in cheek chemistry and laugh out loud humour. Suitable for anyone with a pulse.

Hilltop Live presents, the Platinum-selling alternative act Chevelle Live in SA sponsored by Monster Energy. The American rock trio will be rocking Cape Town and Johannesburg. Bringing their iconic alternative sound to your ears. For Chevelle, 2012 was filled with intense touring, sold out concerts and the release of their sixth full-length album Hats Off to the Bull: which scored the group one of their biggest career hits with the explosive single "Face to The Floor". Most artists with over 12 years in the music industry lose their initial fire, but Chevelle burn brighter than ever on Hats Off to the Bull. Rather than simply subscribing to a tried-and-true formula, they made a conscious effort to incorporate new sounds and textures into their patented airtight anthems. As a result, the group composed its most infectious, intriguing, and impressive offering to date. In December 2012 the group released their first-ever collection of hits - Stray Arrows-A Collection Of Favourites.

Pa Ben is op sy sterfbed omring deur sy gesin. Maar Ben het besluit waddehel, hy`t lank genoeg sy mond gehou vir sy vroutjie en kinders en so kry 40 jaar se frustrasie `n stem. Rita, sy vrou, sit en blaai deur stapels huisversieringstydskrifte. Dogter Lisa sukkel nog om haar eks-man uit haar kop te kry (die tequila help darem bietjie) en Koert, die goue seun, is al een wat sy lewe onder beheer het. Oenskynlik.

It`s the tastiest date on the South African foodie calendar and an event where trends are born. The new look Good Food and Wine Show kicks off in Cape Town at the CTICC from May 23 to May 26 and is bang on with what`s hot and fabulous in food and cooking fashions.

Om 25 jaar lank koers te kan hou, is raar. Steve Hofmeyr is al vir `n kwarteeu hard aan die werk en bekoor Suid-Afrikaners nie alleen op die gebied van vermaak nie, maar ook op `n emosionele, kulturele en patriotiese vlak. Hofmeyr is meer as net `n musiek-instelling wat ver verby ons demokrasie strek - hy`s `n handelsmerk, `n belofte, met 25 jaar se momentum om hom gemaklik tot by `n moontlike goue herdenking te dra.

Twee heeltemal onpaar oujongkerels, Lappies en Daan, deel `n woonstel erens in die diep platteland. Lappies verwag die middag vir Tillie, `n mooi plaaslike pop, om vir hom te kom dansles gee. Maar daar is `n onverwagte en ontydige besoeker, Daan se oom Kas - `n skatryk familielid uit die verre verlede met `n duister geskiedenis, baie ondernemingsgees en `n swakheid vir mooi meisies.
Soos dit is, is Tillie pas uit haar woonstel geskop omdat sy nie haar huur kan betaal nie, en Kas belowe haar die maan en die sterre. Maar hy gaan ongelukkig net `n raps te vinnig te ver. En een fout lei tot `n ander.
Dis Tillie wat die hef in die hande kry, en daar is niks so gevaarlik soos `n slim brunette wat speel sy is `n dom blondine nie. Veral as jy haar loslaat tussen drie mans wat elkeen sy eie agenda het en sy eie sondes met hom saamdra.
