STAND and DELIVER
Starring Nik Rabinowitz
Special guest appearance by Tats Nkonzo
Directed by Brent Palmer
6th Dec 2011 – 7th Jan 2012 Baxter Concert Hall
Nik Rabinowitz emerges from politically infested waters to bring Cape Town’s Baxter theatre his brave new solo show, Stand and Deliver, directed by Brent Palmer.
One of only two Jewish boys to have been born in a stable, Nik Rabinowitz always wanted to be an accountant. It was a breakthrough performance reciting a speech at Shmuli Wiseglass’s barmitzvah that really cemented Nik’s future. This was enough to put his dreams of accountancy aside and pursue a life in stand up comedy. Luckily for us, he chose the road less travelled. Luckily for him, his wife is a doctor.

In Stand and Deliver, Nik, a Xhosa speaking Jew, explores the reasons that have led coloured people to believe that he is Coloured, why Afrikaners have settled in Israel, and how a grown man can end up saying things like, ‘daddy make hot for sossy’.
While the poster might make it seem that the show is about Nik surfing in his underpants, we assure you it really isn’t. In fact, it has nothing to do with surfing and Nik almost never goes out in just his underpants.
Warming up for Nik is a hot new talent, Tats Nkonzo. Tats sings really funny songs, with his guitar, in a beautiful voice. This will confuse you. You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, you’ll love every minute.
