Bump & Grind

Durban’s favourite comedy power couple, Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert-McIlroy, are back to shake up the stage with their latest hit, "Bump & Grind". Directed and choreographed by the sharp Daisy Spencer, this high-energy musical sketch comedy is a masterclass in theatrical "MacBob mayhem".

Described as a “sparkly cracker” of entertainment, the show is a fast-paced riot. Audiences can expect a helter-skelter parade of personalities, from the beloved Elvis-impersonating duo Bruce and Charmaine to bold new additions like AI androids and an ambitious Irish preacher.

The soundtrack is just as electric, spanning icons from The Beatles and Lady Gaga to a nostalgic 80s medley that will have you dancing in your seat. Don't miss this riotous mix of song, dance and heart!

When: Friday to Sunday, show times vary.

Where: Talloula, Old Main Road, Bothas Hill.
