Sy sê dit soos min ander kan: “Hallouw!” – en binne sekondes lag mense saam.

Die vinnig groeiende komediant Emily de Graaf, beter bekend as Emily in SA, het onlangs bekendheid op TikTok verwerf waar sy vlam gevat het met haar kenmerkende groet en eerlike, skreeusnaakse waarnemings oor die alledaagse lewe. Haar unieke styl en relatiewe humor het haar binne ’n kort tyd ’n lojale aanhang besorg.

Na haar eerste teateroptrede einde Mei in Pretoria, vertrek Emily op ’n Wes-Kaap toer waar sy gehore gaan vermaak in onder andere Durbanville, Stellenbosch en Paternoster. Een van die hoogtepunte op die toer is haar vertoning by Drostdy Teater op 'n Vrydagaand nogals - 10 Julie 2026 om 19:00. Haar splinternuwe eenvrou-komedie show, HALLOUW 30!, is ’n eerlike en humoristiese kyk na die realiteit van dertig word – van tox en oogroompies tot dating-drama en die oomblik wanneer mense jou skielik “Tannie” noem. Met selfspot en skerp waarneming deel sy haar ervaring van grootword, identiteit en die humor wat lê in die klein, herkenbare oomblikke van die lewe. “Hallouw! Ek kan nie wag om mense live te sien lag nie – daar is net iets besonders daaraan om saam in ’n vertrek te wees en die lewe se snaaksighede te vier. Have a lekker day, bye!” sê Emily. Die vertoning is geskik vir 16+ en beloof ’n heerlike uur van eerlike, volwasse en onbevange humor.

This one-man show gives the audience a true encounter with the legend. “Papa Hemingway was truly in the room.” STELLENBOSCH – Hollywood actor D. David Morin will perform his hit ‘Papa Hemingway Show’ about the venerated Nobel Prize winner (and author of The Old Man and The Sea). Papa Hemingway Show is a live tribute to the legendary author and novelist, Ernest Hemingway, brought to life through a captivating 70-minute one-man performance by D. David Morin, Hollywood actor, writer, and now a Capetonian.

Morin imbues the spirit of Papa Hemingway and shares his incredibly rich and rocky life journey with his prose and the ups and downs of a memorable existence and battling the ‘black dog’ that pursued him daily. The one-man show captures the essence of “Papa” and gives the audience a true encounter with the legend. With an uncanny resemblance, the Hollywood native who’s played opposite Jennifer Aniston, Bill Paxton, Jacob Elordi and countless others is thrilled to be ‘back on the boards’ with his original piece. It’s a brutally raw and honest visit from the past with the legend himself. The reviews are promising…

"a piece of genius" "Morin is uncannily like Big Papa." "riveting.” "brilliant, edge of your seat stuff." "an unforgettable hour." “amazing.” "a phenomenal piece of art... by the perfect actor for the job." “captivating.” “powerful!” “brutally honest.” “beautiful.”
