Having been performed more than 120 times in six provinces across the country as well as at the Bushfire Festival in Eswatini, this one-person, multi-sketch revue featuring the extremely talented Kim Blanche Adonis who has won two awards for Best Solo Performance at various ceremonies, will feature a couple of new post-election sketches.
My Fellow South Africans is bracing satirical sketch comedy, performed by Kim Blanche Adonis with great skill…Adonis…is funny and fabulous and there are moments of laugh-out-loud laughter and we need that. – Robyn Cohen, Cape Robyn
My Fellow South Africans does exactly what it promises to do: it gives audiences an entertaining satirical take on contemporary South Africa and does so by merging wit and commentary in a provokingly entertaining manner. – Barbara Loots, Theatre Scene Cape Town
My Fellow South Africans is a provocative satirical sketch comedy that grips with poignant humour and uncomfortable truths. Performed with exceptional dexterity by (Kim Blanche) Adonis, the piece balances edgy laughter with serious reflection, exploring the complexities of South Africa’s struggles through finding solace in fun.

Van Graan carries the moniker cultural activist because that is exactly what he does with all the skill of both his perceptive and piercing gaze and his writing wizardry….The text is dense, the demands on the actor intense, but she (Kim Blanche Adonis) has taken this on with a will and willingness to make it her own….Van Graan has found a warrior for his sharpest words.
