Much-loved South African comedian Alan Committie returns to Johannesburg for his 28th brand-new solo show – AV-A-LAUGH-TA; stand-up comedy to keep the blues away!
Written and performed by Alan Committie with Direction by Christopher Weare, AVALAUGHTA will be on stage at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 20 March until 12 April 2026.
Does everything and everyone feel completely alien?
How often in a day do we scream “stop the world, I wanna get off”
or “Nothing on earth makes sense”
or “ stop acting from Uranus”
Sit back, relax and AVA-LAUGH…ta!
Committie is back at Montecasino with some all-new routines and laughs to help us through this Easter period.
This all-new solo show features his usual witty wordplay, fast-paced japes and jibes, madcap physical hi-jinx and a comic look at events and madnesses from 2025. Nothing is sacred… Topics include: passport photo madness, the top and tail of weddings and funerals, audiobooks gone wrong, musical theatre escapes, Italian bus journeys, password pressures and more.
PLUS, Committie recreates the 12 best minutes of the 1997 hit movie TITANIC to end the show! Of course, no matter how extraterrestrial it all feels, there is always room for a flipchart mindmap!
Committie is delighted to be returning to Joburg, his second home, to bring some much-needed relief to the stresses of life “Right now, we need to be gathering in groups of giggles, guffaws and belly laughs. It’s the perfect way to remind us of our humanity and connection.”
In space, nobody can hear you scream (with laughter), but at Montecasin,o you are welcome to laugh as loud as possible.
