LAUGHTER will take centre stage when Marion Holm brings her acclaimed one-woman show, Marion Monroe, to the community on 7 March at the Kimberley Theatre for an evening that promises both humour and heart.
Holm, widely regarded as one of South Africa’s most beloved comedians, is known for her sharp observations and unfiltered honesty. In Marion Monroe, she steps onto the stage alone, weaving together storytelling and comedy with a disarming authenticity that has earned her loyal audiences across the country.
The production explores womanhood, relationships, and the everyday challenges that shape modern life. With her trademark wit, Holm shines a light on the absurdities tucked into ordinary moments. Audiences often find themselves laughing at scenes that feel strikingly familiar, recognising pieces of their own lives in her stories. The humour is clever and relatable, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, yet grounded in warmth and sincerity.
While the performance promises a night of entertainment, its purpose extends beyond the stage. The event is a fundraising initiative in support of Caritas, an organisation that provides daily care and assistance to vulnerable children and families in the community.
Funds raised through ticket sales will help sustain essential services and ensure ongoing, practical support for those who depend on Caritas’s programmes. For many families, these services are not a luxury but a lifeline.
Organisers hope the evening will draw strong community support, not only for the quality of the performance but also for the cause it represents. By attending, guests contribute directly to meaningful change while sharing in a collective experience of laughter and reflection.
In a time when many face mounting pressures, the combination of comedy and compassion offers something powerful: a chance to gather, to give, and to leave lighter than when you arrived. Tickets can be purchased for R300 per person and include cocktail-style snacks and a welcoming drink. Tickets can be purchased at 083 264 2280.
