WITH Mel die Storieverteller SCRIPT AND PRODUCER Melanie du Toit MUSIC Wesley West OPERATIONAL MANAGER Ronald Welgemoed
Mel die Storieverteller is probably one of the biggest breakthrough comedians of 2023. Internet sensation turned stage sensation, she is full of surprises and has audiences in stitches. Dik Deurmekaar is her second comedy piece blurring the lines between stand-up and a narrative one woman show. She tells of the first time she experienced the sensation of confusion (deurmekaargeit) in Juffrou Draak’s classroom, and of making peace with the fact that everything, especially matric farewells and hair styles, is one big mess. Mel also shares her comic opinions on the inexplicable obsession with fishing and other people’s sexual orientation. Her stories hit you with a good, albeit soft dose of the truth, skilfully camouflaged in interesting tales and unexpected quips.
