An Extraordinary Life at the Market Theatre

Joburg Admin / June 21, 2019

What Is It?

Jervis Pennington is best known for being a former teen idol and winner of the SABC’s 1983 National TV Talent Show Follow That Star. He toured the country with his boy-band The Soft Shoes and their No 1. song Elvis Astaire, which reached no.1 on several local radio stations. But, what many people don't know about Jervis is that he really is an excellent song writer. His musical, Scribble /Who really freed Nelson? won five Naledi Theatre Awards including Best Musical and Best Music Score. Now, Jervis is bringing his life story to the Market Theatre stage. His one man musical memoir, An Extraordinary Life is both witty and heartbreaking. He tells it like it is - from famous to homeless and on to fearless, Jervis doesn't shy away from the truth. Performing a couple of his older songs, and some new, Jervis has been lauded as a stand-up comedian with the brooding gaze of a poet. Don't miss out on An Extraordinary Life. It will be staged for a limited time only, so get your tickets ASAP!
