The very best of "Let's Mix It"

Comedy at its very best - and in true Cape Flats (and beyond style) - this has always been the trademark of the ‘Let's Mix It' brand. We mix cultures, colours and languages to find the perfect comedy ‘mix' to bring you the most laughs per minute.
The very best of "Let's Mix It"

"Let's Mix It" is the hilarious theatre talk show where anything can happen and the laughs just keep on coming. Hadji Fatgiyah Bardien (played by the inimitable Chad Abrahams) brings you her best characters (all played by the vibrant Gary Naidoo) in one dynamic theatre talk show.

Some of the characters include Sisanda Gugushe, the larger-than-life sumo wrestler, gym/fitness instructor and lover of all things culinary. Dr Alexander Katchokokov, the Russian clairvoyant is back with his unique antics and ready to make the studio go all spooky again. Then there's Hadji Fatgiyah's not-so-handy handyman, Boeta Rajee and, of course Felicity Mybergh, ex Miss gay SA who is as lippy as ever! And that's not all, there's more...lots more.

There are a few more characters (we don't want to give all our secrets away). Will Stevie Wonder be there to woo the crowd with his singing? Will the Korean chef, Pi-On-Mi make a turn and do his famous tribute to Michael Jackson (RIP)? Find out when you see the show.

And what about the exclusive funny homemade adverts and other hilarious footage on the big screen? The show will bear testimony to the versatility of the two actors and the comedy writing skills of Naidoo and Mammon as they pay homage to the last three smash hits, "Let's Mix It 1, 2 and 2.8 GLX". This is one definitely not to be missed! It has only the best moments - so the laughs will be coming faster and punchier!
