Micromega Publications

Join us for a comedic journey with Wentworth’s Oliver Tichmann on Friday 29 May at 8pm at Umhlanga Apart Hotel. Tickets from www.madeindurban.co.za

Oliver Tichmann’s comedy is best described as biting, surrealist political satire that holds up a mirror to contemporary South African politics.

Tichmann’s comedy captures that exact sense of a “grotesque wonderland” where the reality of the news is already so bizarre that the satire almost writes itself.

While his work is designed to leave readers in stitches, it is never just empty mockery. His comedy serves a dual purpose: it acts as a much-needed emotional release valve for the public while simultaneously challenging readers to soberly look at institutional absurdities.

The Wedding Expo, hosted at the uMhlanga Apart-Hotel from 29 May to 31 May 2026.

We are thrilled to invite you to a weekend filled with inspiration, expert advice, and entertainment as you plan your special day.
Please note that entry to the Wedding Expo and all sessions on the programme are free, except for the comedy show and the two concerts.
