A musical spectacle fit for a queen at the Durban Botanic Gardens this Mother’s Day
Durban comedy favourites Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert-McIlroy return to Talloula with their new musical comedy – BUMP & GRIND, a high-energy musical sketch comedy that delivers a riotous mix of song, dance, quick-fire character comedy and heart. Created under the direction and choreography of Daisy Spencer, the show has already delighted audiences this festive season with its trademark MacBob mayhem and polish.
Described by Billy Suter as “a sparkly cracker of song, dance and off-the-wall humour,” BUMP & GRIND is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud theatrical experience. The show tumbles through a helter-skelter parade of characters — from fan favourites Bruce and Charmaine, as Elvis impersonators, pensioners Beatrice and Max, and super-sage Dr Veejay, to bold new creations including AI androids, Latin dance sensations and an Irish preacher with stand-up ambitions.
The music includes numbers from Talking Heads, Lady Gaga, Elvis, The Beatles, Whitney Houston and a climactic medley of ’80s chart hits.
“It’s a vibe… Aaron and Lisa’s talent and skill lie in their seemingly effortless transformations from one character to another — and making every dance hit and ballad that character’s own!” Shannon Kenny (ArtSmart)
With broad family appeal, high energy and a proven track record of sold-out runs, don’t miss BUMP & GRIND at Talloula at the end of January!

My Mom is #Fabulous ????She is my inspiration, that I look up too in so many ways, she is a strong women with so much confidence. MOM is a best friend.Thanks for always being there for me and for all the others that you are there for. She always has me laughing and is full of fun. No matter when or what she is always there for me. She is #KillerAwesome #GreatWomen #Fabulous #Respect #mothersday My Mom taught me to be kind to myself, to let go of my perfectionist nature when it comes to doing things the “right” way, according to plan. She taught me to always be open minded about new or different ways of doing things. She taught me the importance of family dinners and holiday traditions. She taught me how to make cookies from scratch. She taught me how to sooth teething gums on my baby. The best thing that she taught me is that you never too old to hug your Mom and tell her that you Love her.❤????????????????

My mom is the best because she let me (who isn’t the most responsible 22 year old out there) take her 4×4 car to mozambique last weekend.
