A few weeks ago I was treated to an early performance of Stuart Taylor's latest production, Learner Husband.
Learner Husband is Stuart's attempt to educate the male species using comedy, magic and ... pictures, yes pictures in the buildiong blocks to a successful relationship with the opposite sex. The problem? Its presented by a male, who admits to not yet having figured this out in his own life. But this means a whole load of back-tracking, qualifying, audience participation and even more laughter.

"Comedian Stuart Taylor and director Heinrich Reisenhofer team up to create the definitive relationship crash-course for the modern South African man. Revealing tips and secrets from Stuart’s soon to be published best seller: K53 for Learner Husbands, this step by step program that prepares you to survive the most perilous of driving tests: marriage.

Look out for Warning Signs they never tell you about (till it is too late) as well as Stuarts patented rescue formula ‘Sorry Honey, I was wrong!’. And that’s not all... Stuart will also reveal the early chapters of the nappy-busting sequel K53 for Learner Dads."

I experienced one of the preview evenings of this production and while still in development it was thoroughly entertaining, well thought-out and funny. I can only imagine how much this must have morphed and grown into a something special and truly South African.

Learner Husband is back @ The Baxter Theater in Rondebosch until the 14th March before Stuart takes it back to the Market Theater in Johannesburg in May.

It was just 6 degrees traveling into work today! For Cape Town, that's bloody cold, especially when it's combined with rain. There have even been reports of snow on some of our surrounding peaks. Winter is well and truly here.
Of course this meant exaggerated morning peak traffic. However, Radio 2000 (if you appreciate good rock and roll you should be listening to this station btw) made the journey a whole lot more enjoyable by replaying this great piece of comedy by request. Suddenly the traffic didn't seem to bother me, and I found myself laughing out loud.

Enjoy!!
