Entertainment Theatre Review: Another Friggin Tribute Show

Review: Another Friggin Tribute Show

Pin It

If you remember record players, tape recorders and blank TDK tapes, this is absolutely a show to watch.

If you don�t� Another Friggin Tribute Show is still a great laugh. What makes it such a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining show to watch is Pierre Malherbe has taken those normal experiences we�ve all had (if you�re on the wrong side of thirty) and with his slightly exaggerated antics, yet very engaging behaviour, turned them into hysterical sketches. Often audience members will be left thinking �hey that was me as a kid� or find themselves suddenly remembering long lost childhood memories�

Pierre Malherbe�s show is a non-musical tribute to the bands, artists and musical experiences that shaped his life. It is not just a walk down memory lane for Malherbe and the audience (who doesn�t remember taping music from the radio?) but also a light hearted commentary of the South African music industry over the past decades.  He reminisces about Gruesome Gresh�s Pop Shop TV show, The Top Twenty Hit Parade and music DJ�s who talk too much. Perhaps Gareth Cliff should watch this show�

Then of course there are the memories that are uniquely Malherbe�s� Like that special costume he used to wear while listening to Engelbert Humperdink. His The Smiths and Pink Floyd phase and dislike for Prime Circle and Nickelback. I�d really like to know why though�

Another Friggin Tribute Show is running at the Kalk Bay Theatre Wednesdays to Saturdays until 3 November. Shows start at 8:30pm and tickets are R85 show only or R160 including dinner.
