The spotlight is ready to shine on one of South Africa’s most iconic performers. Pieter-Dirk Uys, a name synonymous with thought-provoking satire and laughter, is back with a new show: SELL-BY DATE.
Featuring the indomitable Tannie Evita Bezuidenhout and a multitude of your favourite characters, SELL-BY DATE promises to be an extravaganza that’s as topical as it is timeless. From the 24th of August to the 10th of September, Uys, at his 77-year old best, will grace the stage, bringing humour to various states of disaster.
The show doesn’t only feature Uys, but a cluster of topical characters – male, female, and political. With a career spanning since the late 1960s, Uys is often asked the question: ‘When will you retire?’ His reply? ‘Not retyre; retread!’
When the lights fade to black, the magic of Uys’s performance truly comes to life. His political scriptwriters never let him down. SELL-BY DATE is more than just a performance; it’s a reminder that history should not be repeated. It’s a school of thought, a call to action, and a celebration of satire in an era of political correctness and cancel culture.
His courage and brilliance have resonated with critics and audiences alike. Laetetia Pople of DIE BURGER praises Uys’s daring artistry and his power to steer stagnant thoughts into a new direction. Steve Kretzmann of THE CRITTER declares that “Pieter has no sell-by date!” while Robyn Cohen of THE CAPE ROBYN applauds his wonderful energy.
Greg Landman of MAGIC GRAPE TOURS finds Uys’s ability to stir up our identity as both funny and shocking, never leaving the audience bored. Foeron Wheeler of BROADWAY WORLD hails ‘Sell-by Date’ as a piece of entertainment that will make you laugh out loud and marvel at Uys’s magical transformation on stage.
With ticket prices ranging from R150 to R250 and performances lined up through the weekends from Thursday 24th August to Sunday 10th September, there’s no reason to miss this thrilling experience.
