2006 saw a momentous change to the South African Comedy landscape. Tumi Morake rose up like a new light source, her fierce and funny gaze illuminating the previously shadowy world of male-dominated comedy. Morake is one of South Africa's most revered comedians, with blazing speed, and an energy that doesn't bow to anyone or thing. Respectfully earning her the Queen of South African Comedy title. Join her as she takes a look at her journey so far from sassy, single and racially curious girl, to settled, sober and seriously insane woman. Not for the faint-hearted.

User reviews

Startlingly observant. She is able to convey the insanity of 21st century political correctness in an intelligent and incisive show. Her roots are South African but her take on life is for everyone. Go and see this very funny woman. You will love this act.
