South African stand-up comedians and internet sensations Masood Boomgaard and Bash with Tash are heading to the Middle East! The Durban comedy duo, who recently completed tours of Australia and the UK, will be hitting the stage at The Junction Dubai theatre on 6 September for two shows only.
Boomgaard who is regarded one of the brightest stars in South African comedy will show off his unique and witty take on a range of topics from technology and sports to relationships, celebrities, parenting and everything else in between.
“Having recently ended a successful round of shows in South Africa and elsewhere we are super excited to be heading to Dubai where I am looking to forward to connecting with comedy lovers. Or course Dubai is a home away from home for many South Africans so that’s another reason why this tour is so special.”
Audiences will get to hear about Masood’s experiences growing up in South Africa towards the end of Apartheid, discovering his Asian roots through his grandparents and travelling the world and finding his place in it as a person of mixed origin.
The show will also explore the notion first world problems, making light of its trivial inconveniences, ranging from poor Wifi Signal to gluten, offering hilarious predictions of what we can expect from technology and human behaviour in the years to come.
