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.
