This critically acclaimed show enjoyed sold out seasons Johannesburg and Cape Town, with many fans claiming that this is the best Lottering offering yet.
Lottering is one of South Africa’s top comedians, having written numerous solo shows and 3 smash hit musicals. He has been nominated for, and received several prestigious theatre awards along the way.
In 2024, Lottering was inducted into the South African Comedy Hall of Fame.

“looking for muhyiddin”

avalon theatre
Join Ansari Sustainable Living Trust (Cape Town) on Sunday 13th April 2025, in the Avalon Theatre, Homecoming Centre, to contemplate the life of Muhyiddin Ibn Al Arabi, the Islamic mystic, as depicted by Nacer Khemir.
In the words of Typecast Films: “Looking for Muhyiddin is a deeply lyrical odyssey into the soul of Islam through the life and work of one of its beloved mystics: Ibn Arabi.”
But this is no ordinary movie. As Yahya Sinno (distributor) reflects, “The best way to view “Looking for Muhyiddin” is as an act of contemplation, not a movie with a plot. A slow deep eye-opening meditation. An act of Love.”
Tickets available from: Meral Hay on 072 879 8684.
Doors open at 13:15. Unreserved seating.
There will be a 30 min interval.

Ntsika is making a powerful return to live performance with his 2025 tour, Ntsika Presents: A Place Called Ngoma. This tour, born from an intensified connection with his Ancestors—the very guides who inspired his first, critically acclaimed solo album—promises to be an experience of profound healing. Since that album’s release, the conversations, dreams, and channeling have only deepened, leading Ntsika to yet another sacred collection of songs meant to uplift and renew the spirit. In A Place Called Ngoma, audiences will be immersed in music crafted not only to heal but also to reignite the covenant they hold with God, the Creator.
This divine connection, one that empowers and charges their sacred gifts in this world, will be woven through every song. Through unreleased songs from his forthcoming album and beloved pieces from his first, Ntsika will offer music that strengthens the soul and guides listeners toward inner power: to break generational setbacks, to live purposefully, to find peace in stillness, and to cherish life’s every moment. Every performance will be an invitation to journey through music toward wholeness, presence, and purpose, with Ntsika and his surprise special guest artists bringing soul-stirring magic to each unforgettable evening.
