The ultra-classy Ian von Memerty (of Strictly Come Dancing, SA\u2019s Got Talent and A Handful of Keys fame) reluctantly teams up with the unashamedly Philistinian Gino Fabbri (known for shows like Gino Fabbri is Completely Nuts) for an outrageous musical comedy.<\/p>\n
Common and Class \u2013 Laugh Yourself a Six Pack, presented by Barnyard Theatre, will have you rolling on the floor and rocking in the aisles.<\/p>
The uncommon combustible clash of breeding and culture pits drummer-comedian Fabbri\u2019s dynamic drumming and guitar-playing against Von Memerty\u2019s pyrotechnic piano-ism, resulting in a roller coaster of musical contradictions.<\/p>\n
Their mismatched machinations sees the \u2018battle of the twits\u2019 moving effort-fully from rock to rocky horror, boeremusiek to Broadway and country to classical, even sharing a masterclass on how not to look sexy on the dance-floor along the way.<\/p>
With Fabbri himself on drums and Von Memerty bringing down the house each night as the flamboyant Elton John, the pre-show backstage banter and one-upmanship, which ensued, paved the way for their natural collaboration.<\/p>\n
When these two explosive talents combine, hilarity ensues and stomach-muscles are given a strenuous workout as two witty and beloved entertainers take merciless pot shots at each other in the guise of their alter egos.<\/p>\n
The show will be at the Barnyard Theatre at Emperors Palace on March 2, with the fun and laughter starting at 1pm.<\/p>\n
