SA Rocks

Yes, the absolutely hilarious character that we all loved in the Mnet adverts is taking the stage at the Lyric theatre after an extremely successful show at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year.

SA Rocks will be running a give-away competition this week (or next) for tickets to the show. I’ll also hopefully be running a competition on my personal twitter account too, so follow me to keep track.

From the PR:

Gary the Tooth Fairy will be sharing his skill and distinctive magical view on the world with audiences at The Lyric theatre, Gold Reef City Complex in JHB for a limited number of shows from the 20th August – 22nd August.

M-Net viewers have seen the master illusionist, who unsurprisingly is the local individual with the most fans on Facebook (110 000 and climbing daily), walk on water, communicate with birds and do all things fantastic to steal the limelight away from the country’s number one general entertainment channel.

From Gary himself:

“…uhm … it’s a masterpiece … it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to laugh your molars out … if you miss it, you will want to rip your wings off … It’s CLEVA.”

Thanks must go out to Andy for this beaut!

Hope he doesn’t mind that I’ve taken some of his brilliant words;

Brilliant. Just noticed this while channel flipping. M-Net are going to start showing repeats of popular shows… based on load shedding schedules. So, Eskom takes you down – fear not, because the latest episode of the late 30s hormonal housewives or whiny promiscuous doctors is just a channel-click away.

I think this is a sterling idea if you are a TV loving obsessive surfing type of person. Mnet hasn’t really been at the forefront of pushing the envelope in technological developments and different sorts of viewing (in my opinion). But this is a refreshing move for them that I can recognise is necessary.

However you know its coming, I think that people seriously need to let the TV thing go. Maybe we should be using this load shedding to recover our innate need to communicate with people we don’t usually communicate with. So my thoughts? Get over it, have a cup of Rooibos tea, light up a candle and talk to your family.
