Perfect for unwinding after a stressful year, "Fast and (Reasonably) Furious" guarantees release, relief, and a night of uproarious fun suitable for the whole family (excluding that one disliked uncle – keep him away for everyone's sake).

Directed by Fleur du Cap Lifetime Achievement winner Christopher Weare and designed by tequila-sipping daytime achievement runner-up Niall Griffin, "Fast and (Reasonably) Furious" features Committie, faster than Cheslin Kolbe and possessing the physique of Ox Nche – a comedy prop adept at improvisation.

Committie enthusiastically declares, "I am delighted to kick off 2024 at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre with my brand-new stand-up show. Let's get the next 12 months started with big laughs or hundreds of tiny but escalating giggles, depending on your preference."
