After years of captivating international audiences, Tumi Morake, South Africa's beloved “First Lady of Comedy”, is making an emotional and electric return to a venue that feels like home: the Baxter Theatre, for a two-week exclusive run as part of the JiVE Cape Town Funny Festival from Tuesday 17 to Sunday 29 June.

In what will be her longest local stage run since relocating to the United States of America (USA), Morake said this comeback isn’t just another gig, it’s personal. “I always feel as if I’m a rock star when I perform at the JiVE Cape Town Funny Festival,” she said. “Cape Town crowds are the perfect mix of sharp, generous and just a little spicy, like a good gatsby.”
