Cabaret and Comedy
Directed, performed and presented by Emile Minnie and Godfrey Johnson
60mins
South African darlings of the cabaret stage, Emile Minnie and Godfrey Johnson, will be joining forces and hands to bring you an evening of fun, humour and fabulous songs.
Fleur du Cap winner Godfrey Johnson and SAMA award nominee Emile Minnie will be performing raucous hits from the sixties to the naughties with just a piano, a clarinet and a wine glass for percussion. Come and see these two captivating artists light up the stage with their humour and energy. Songs include “Love is a stranger” by Eurythmics, “Holding out for a hero” by Bonnie Tyler and “Putting on the Ritz” by Irving Berlin.
For that something extra they will be doing African pop by the likes of The Click Song, as well as an Afrikaanse treffer or two.
Grab your handbag, your man purse or your moonbag and make your way to the Minnie and Johnson show!
Legwarmers optional.

“Brilliantly, unashamedly self-aware and proud. This performance spans decades of music and genres, dipping into African pop and 1980s classics, as well as featuring Piaf and Brel. The honesty and joy in the performances on piano, clarinet and vocals are astounding examples of how the arts should be performed.”
Chelsea Haith, Grahamstown Festival Cue, June 2013.
