Duncan tunes:
“Howzit okes, and chicks, my name's Duncan Farenheit and I'm like, a muso from Obs. I used to play bass for a band called 'The Tired Okes', but the main oke in the band, an oke called Attie Pienaar fired me for forgetting to turn my amp on, so I formed my own band, bru, called Duncan Farenheit and the Lank Tired Okes. But then all the okes, like left the band, so then I became just One LANK Tired Oke. Or "OLTO", as I was also known as for awhile, even though I am like more of a baritone. Then I formed another band called 'No Friends of Attie'. But then we broke up, so I went solo. But I'm going to be playing like a reunion gig with the Lank Tired Okes at the Autonomous Riempie Chair Cafe' in Obs lower main road. Should be kief. So howz to come like check us, bru? Don't tune me nooit, hey. Shot.
... and Oh Ja, tell lank okes and chicks about it, 'cos it's a vris winter and it's better if we like huddle together to keep warm, you check.”
- Duncan Farenheit (and The Lank Tired Okes)
Director’s note:
"Pierre Malherbe's Duncan Farenheit and The Lank Tired Okes is a hilarious romp through the rigors of the local music scene. What a privilege to work with such extraordinary skill and facilitate his creative process. This show will definately go down as one of the gems of independent SA comedic theatre."
- Brent Palmer
Argus review:
“Anyone vaguely familiar with the local music scene will enjoy this open-hearted love letter to the 90’s and all things musical […] Malherbe is a talented comedic actor with a flair for character nuance. Even though he is portraying Day-Glo caricatures, he embellishes these with enough detail to make them credible. His accents and comic-timing are pin-point […] The strength of the play is Malherbe’s obvious familiarity with, and love, for the characters. The play is littered with affectionate pokes in the music industry’s ribs […] The joy of this show is the warm glow of nostalgia left glowing in your wobbly bits. Yes, you were there. Yes, the music really was that good. And yes, your clothes really were that bad.”

Magazine review:
“Duncan Farenheit is a member of an unfortunately prolific Cape Town species: the struggling muso. This plight is brought to life by Pierre Malherbe's steely wit and flawless depiction of a character that we can all relate to, or at least jovially belittle. He reveals a striking understanding of this stereotype. The themes throughout the meandering monologue are universal and you are bound to be entertained by this performance, as it weaves the woes of a performer whose life-story is his failure to entertain! The ironies are moronically morose yet a relentlessly refreshing humor will leave you warm & fuzzy inside, and well satisfied that you ventured out on a Cape Town winter’s night. You will also want to comment!”

Comments:
“This show is so funny, I keep thinking that I must have written it...
But I didn’t, and that is why I refuse to go and see it!”
- Alan Committie
“Duncan Farenheit is cooler than Toto, more musicaler than Beethoven and more funnier than Mantu Champalala. Watch him.”
- Corné (The Most Amazing Show)
"Brilliant comedy that hits you where it matters most... in the stomach"
- Oscar Petersen (Joe Barber)
“Befok!”
- David Isaacs (Joe Barber)
“(Malherbe’s) timing is excellent, he is versatile, he is very funny”
- Megan Choritz (Theatre Sports)
“A Bravura performance. The resemblance to the real Duncan Farenheit is quite uncanny.”
- Attie Pienaar (The Tired Okes)
“A lot of one man shows have the actor playing millions of characters. Malherbe plays three.”
- Mel Herber (Official Review)
