The Good, the Old and the Greedy.

Boomgaard is also a famous comedian with a career spanning over 10 years.

He is best known for his unique comedic take on current affairs and trends, tackling a variety of topics from politics and sport to the economy and relationsh­ips.

He often uses the stage to reflect on his childhood and experience­s growing up in a mixed race family.

He has performed with some of the best in the business across the country and has a few solo shows under his belt. His most recent, ‘Joker’ has been released on DVD.

He has also appeared on Comedy Central, and performed his show ‘African Indian’ at London’s West End, which received rave reviews. On Friday, the duo is expected to take the audience on a hilarious cultural adventure, tapping into their experience­s growing up in Indian communitie­s in various parts of Durban.
