Cracks and The City II at The Baxter

August is Women’s Month and what better way to celebrate than a few good laughs at the Baxter Theatre?


The Baxter Theatre celebrates women’s month in August with the return of the hilarious Cracks and The City II performed by the all-female foursome featuring comedians Shimmy Isaacs, Anne Hirsch, Anthea Thompson and Marianne Thamm.

The Cracks return with a two-week run of their new full-length show, Cracks and The City II. Expect fresh material and sketches that are sure to get you laughing as well as thinking.

The show is directed by comic whizz, Alan Committie.

Tyrone August of the Cape Times wrote “the stand-up show Cracks and The City is unusual in more ways than one…It features women only, yet none of them feel the need to explicitly address any feminist issues and turn the show into a discourse on what it means to be a woman in South Africa.”

August went on to explain that this quality of the Cracks humour “is an indication of their confidence and strength. They do not feel obliged to wave around any banners or climb on any soap boxes.”

Astrid Stark wrote that Cracks and The City was “an eclectic romp and riot”.

Tickets are available through Computicket.
