About AV-A-LAUGH-TA: Comedy to Banish the Blues

Does everything feel a bit… alien these days? Are you often left screaming "stop the world, I wanna get off" or wondering why "Nothing on earth makes sense"? Forget *AVATAR* – it's time to sit back, relax, and AV-A-LAUGH-TA!

Alan Committie is back at Montecasino with fresh routines and big laughs. He’s here to guide us through the upcoming Easter period with his signature style. Expect witty wordplay, fast-paced japes, madcap physical hi-jinx, and a hilarious look at the events and madnesses from 2025.

What to Expect: Hilarious Topics & A Titanic Finale!

Committie’s new show is packed with relatable and side-splitting observations. He'll tackle a range of modern-day absurdities and everyday frustrations.

Passport photo madness
The top and tail of weddings and funerals
Audiobooks gone wrong
Musical theatre escapes
Italian bus journeys
Pressure from too many passwords

PLUS, in a truly epic finale, Committie daringly recreates the 12 best minutes of the iconic 1997 hit movie *TITANIC* live on stage! And, of course, no matter how extraterrestrial life feels, there’s always room for a flipchart mindmap.

Alan Committie on His Return

Alan Committie is absolutely delighted to be back in Jozi, a city he affectionately calls his second home. He aims to bring some much-needed relief from life's daily stresses.

"Right now, we need to be gathering in groups of giggles, guffaws, and belly laughs," Committie shares. "It’s the perfect way to remind us of our humanity and connection." While in space nobody can hear you scream with laughter, at Montecasino, it’s practically compulsory to cackle as loud as possible!
