Tadiwa Mahlunge: Hakuna Ma Tad Tad

Presented by Chuckle Busters

“I'm back with a new show about how being a refugee forged my ambition, self belief and why I believe you deserve the same Kanye-level confidence I have (without the life-altering trauma). I have in no way cynically leveraged my life story and timed this tour to profiteer off the tense mood on immigration in the nation, and any such accusation will be met with litigation from my mother." - Tadiwa

Tadiwa Mahlunge is one of the fastest-rising stars in British comedy, named by The Times as one of their “Top 3 Stars of Tomorrow”.

Tadiwa has appeared on Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Am I The A**hole (Comedy Central), Comedians Giving Lectures (Dave), Comedy Central Live, The Football’s On (TNT Sports), and Live from Aberystwyth Pier (BBC Wales). On radio, he’s been heard on The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4), Best of the Fringe (BBC Radio 4), and What Just Happened (BBC Radio Wales).

His stand-up has earned rave reviews across the board:

“Expect great things from this charming comic.” ★★★★ The Times
“A brilliant, daring storyteller.” ★★★★ ThreeWeeks
“Though their styles are different, the circuit might just have created another Jimmy Carr...” ★★★★ Chortle
“Young and gifted… already looking like the complete package.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
“An impressively accomplished and infectiously funny hour, Tadiwa Mahlunge is a name you’ll want to watch out for” ★★★★ The Skinny

Selected by Rolling Stone and The Sun as one of the must-see comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Tadiwa has supported the likes of Sam Morrill, Phil Wang, Dylan Moran, Ed Byrne and Kyle Kinane.

Backed by stars including Daniel Kaluuya (“Fearless comedian on the rise”) and Aisling Bea (“Very bloody funny”), Tadiwa is a “name you’ll want to watch out for” - Ed Fest Mag.
