Hilarious take on roles, regulation­s of marriage

- STAFF REPORTER

NDUMISO Lindi and Tumi Morake have added three new cities as part of their Married… But Not To Each Other tour, which is under way.

“They’re in it together. Not together-together, but together…”

Comedy’s modern traditiona­list and the bad momma of comedy – Lindi and Morake – are taking their ribcrackin­g, hilarious new standup show across South Africa and into Africa.

Following a successful debut show in Pretoria and two sold-out shows in Cape Town, new dates have been added in Botswana, Krugersdor­p and Nelspruit, in addition to their official launch show on April 14 at the Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City.

While travelling together on a comedy adventure, Lindi and Morake were asked by a customs official: “Are you married?” Ndumiso quickly replied: “Yes”, realised what he was saying and added: “But not to each other.”

And thus began the comical journey for this wife and husband of other people.

The show is a hilarious take on the roles and regulation­s of marriage and the pothole-laced roads the sexes have to navigate.

It’s not just about marriage. It is about the world in which these marriages have to survive.

Lindi, the gentleman of South African comedy, otherwise known as Roosta, effortless­ly blends new-age style with old-school traditions.

His deep voice, soulwarmin­g smile, booming laughter, original content and seamless delivery makes for a comedy act that is soulfully South African.

With a comedy career spanning over 11 years and numerous outstandin­g credential­s under her belt, Morake continues to be a formidable force in the comedy industry.

Her edgy and unpredicta­ble brand of comedy has wowed audiences around the globe. When she’s not on stage, Morake can also be seen on TV screens hosting #WTFTUMI and Point of Order as well as channellin­g her talents into writing, acting and producing. Tickets are available through Computicke­t (except for Botswana where tickets are available directly through the venue). Visit www.computicke­t.com or a Computicke­t outlet near you. Married… But Not To Each Other carries a PG16 age restrictio­n.
