This hilarious production, which won a Bronze Ovation Award at the 2023 National Arts Festival, comes to The Theatre on the Square from 1 to 14 July.
McIlroy, known for his iconic roles in the Spud movie franchise and numerous stage blockbusters, returns to The Theatre on the Square with this long-awaited solo performance. Aaron plays James, the self-proclaimed “King of the Braai – a red-blooded, meat-eating South African male” who undergoes a life changing experience during a work trip in the KZN Midlands. Fuelled by the impending climate crisis he makes the life changing decision to become a vegetarian, much to the dismay of his meat-loving wife.

Is it a midlife crisis or will this fundamental change affect everything in James’s life, not just food? He may need some new friends too! McIlroy’s brilliant comedic timing and impressive range brings this relatable and entertaining story to life.
