If you’re a fan of comedian Marc Lottering but haven’t seen his latest show at the Baxter Theatre yet, here’s some good news for you.
Aunty Merle - It’s A Girl has been extended to 29 February 2020 by public demand.
The show is a sequel to Aunty Merle The Musical, which received four Fleur du Cap nominations and was performed for four critically acclaimed seasons.

The production is the brainchild of Marc and Anwar McKay and has been in demand since it first started in 2017.
The much-anticipated sequel has also enjoyed rave reviews, full houses and standing ovations, so it’s no surprise the show has been extended.
Marc says: “We are beyond thrilled, a massive thank you to everyone who’s come out to support us.
“We don’t take this magical time for granted. As Aunty Merle would say, God is good!”
Over 35 000 people have seen the show since it opened in November last year.
Some have returned a few times to see this warm, sensitive and hysterically funny musical.
If you didn’t know, excitement is mounting in Belgravia Road, Athlone, as Merle’s daughter Abigail and son-in-law, Alan, “from Bantry Bay” have an important announcement to make.
Here’s a hint - they have been married for five years and Merle simply cannot wait to be an ouma.
The cast includes Marc Lottering, Royston Stoffels, Jennifer Steyn, Nicky Rebelo, Carmen Maarman, Zoleka Helesi, Rushney Ferguson, Julian Place, Sizwesandile Mnisi, Anzio September, Tashreeq De Villiers, Crystal Finck and Rori Bingham.
Ticket prices range from R125 to R225 via Webtickets.
