Podcast stars head to Mzansi

FINALLY: 'DADDY'S HOME' PODCAST COMING TO JOBURG, CAPE TOWN

- Hein Kaiser

UK podcast stars Shxtsngigs or SNG for short are finally making good on years of South Africans messaging the duo to stop teasing and show up in person.

The pair, James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, will bring their Daddy's Home tour to the Johannesburg Goldrush Dome on 24 January and Cape Town's Grand Arena on 27 January, a trip they say has been a long time coming.

SNG has no filter and their take on sex, relationships and pop culture has built a global following that's taken them offline to some of the world's biggest stages. Not since Justin Bieber have artists transcended the divide between online and real-life at a significant scale.

Are you looking forward to coming to Mzansi?

Fuhad: We've wanted to come to South Africa for some time. Every time we announce a show, the first comments are from South Africans telling us to stop playing around and come over.

It has been in the works for years. We just needed the right moment. We're so excited that it is finally happening.

When did you realise you had a big following down south?
