Pieter-Dirk Uys has come up with another winner! Be advised though, don’t miss this show. It’s a tonic. But be warned — it’s not for the easily offended.
– Cape Argus, 16 September 1997
Hilarious! The quintessential satirist!
– The Citizen, 6 May 1997
Sy kom almal by met haar skerp tong.
– Die Burger, 3 April 1997
To view this as a show only suitable for lovers of the uncouth and a fondness for toilet humour is missing the point. It is quintessential Pieter-Dirk Uys at his satirical best. By pushing the boundaries of politically-incorrect humour, a forum of sorts is created where the audience has to confront some of their biases.
– Charles de Olim, The Star, 24 August 2004
Ouma Ossewania Praat Vuil is plek-plek verrassend snaaks, maar die humor is totaal relevant tot en vervat in haar persoonlikheid. Deur haar oe ervaar ons ‘n totale ander blik op ons geskiedenis en die Suid-Afrika van vandag.
– Paul Boekkooi, Beeld, 8 October 1997
Die satire-mes is skerper en meer genadeloos as voorheen.
– Theunis Engelbrecht, KKNK, April 1997
Daar is soveel skokkende waarheid in wat sy se dat jy glad na jou asem hyg.
– Hilda Grobler, Vrydag KZN, March 1998
‘n Meesterlike voorstelling … Pieter-Dirk Uys toon aan ons wat ‘n besielende kunstenaar hy werklik is.
– Paul Boekkooi, Beeld
This is slick, sharp satire … that adds up to a night out that’s enormous fun.
– Billy Suter, Natal Mercury
