One man show with Nik Rabowitz at the Baxter

Comedian Nik Rabinowitz brings his 16th solo show, Geriatric Millennial, to the Baxter Concert Hall from Tuesday, December 2 to Saturday, December 20, at 7 pm.

The 70 to 80 minute stand-up show explores the increasingly blurry line between spiritual awakening and chronic back pain management.

"I'm at that beautiful intersection where I remember when the internet made sounds, but I also need a nap after scrolling," said Mr Rabinowitz. "I'm under-medicated, over-methylated, orthopaedically compromised, catastrophically sleep-deprived and somehow still standing. Up. On stage. It's basically a miracle."

The production runs Tuesday through Saturday, delivering what Rabinowitz calls "a laugh-a-minute reflection on the absurdity of modern adulthood, midlife anxiety, and wondering if that knee thing is permanent."

The almost-50-year-old comedian asks existential questions like: Is it a midlife crisis or just a slow, brutal unravelling? Should we put grannies in charge of everything? And when exactly is the Messiah coming back? (Spoiler: probably not before the show ends.)

"Depending on how much the audience and I like each other on any given night, the show could run 70 or 80 minutes," Mr Rabinowitz said. "I'm leaving room for healing. Or heckling. Whichever comes first."

Tickets cost R200 to R350 at Webtickets.
