Tadiwa Mahlunge: 25 (Work in Progress)

Billed as “one of the country’s top new comedy acts” by The York Press, Tadiwa Mahlunge has performed at, among others, the Latitude, Greenman, and Greenwich Comedy Festivals – alongside the biggest names in comedy – and has provided tour support for Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Jessica Fostekew, and TV warm up for Desiree Birch’s Amazon Prime special.

As seen on BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC Sesh, Dave, Comedy Central, UTV and Comic Relief – Tadiwa Mahlunge has established himself as one of comedy’s hottest prospects. As such, he has been selected for the 2022 Pleasance Reserve.

“VERY BLOODY FUNNY. AND NEITHER TOO TALL NOR TOO SHORT, WHICH IS GREAT.” – Aisling Bea

“Tadiwa has been gathering pace as a prodigious act and landing a highly sought after spot on the Pleasance Reserve has cemented his star in the making status” – Kiri Pritchard-McLean
