Don’t miss funnyman Riaad Moosa’s hilarious new show, What’s The Point? at the Boardwalk ICC on Saturday, 4 October. The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available from Webtickets at R180 each.
The award-winning comedian, presenter, writer and actor (and legitimate doctor) is known for blending humour and intellect, and for avoiding profanity and explicit language.
In his shows Moosa tackles sensitive issues like Islamic stereotypes, Islamophobia, racism and prolapsed haemorrhoids, and anything from Bollywood to current politics, to apartheid.
In “What’s the Point?” Moosa light-heartedly navigates the chaos of the world, ponders the meaning of life, and questions humanity’s purpose on this planet. With his signature wit and charm, the doctor-turned-comedian offers what he calls his “lame attempt at being funny and philosophical” – but audiences know better. It’s comedy gold.
Moosa spent three years training in magic, becoming a silver medallion graduate of the College of Magic in Cape Town, where he was also presented with a Comedy Magic. His future in magic ended when somebody doing flash photography lit up the wire elevated across the stage, from which his magic orb was floating. Moosa also spent six years studying medicine at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Medical School where he graduated in 2001. He qualified as a medical doctor and worked as a GP for three years.
Moosa’s comedy career was born from stand-up shows on campus during his fourth year at UCT. A mere two months after performing in the Cape Comedy Collective’s free Comedy Lab workshops he won the “One City, Many Comics Talent Competition”, held as part of the One City Festival. He became a regular headliner on the comedy circuit and was invited to perform on Pieter-Dirk Uys’s Evita Live and Dangerous e.tv comedy show. In 2000, he came to prominence on the comedy-club circuit in Cape Town, and his career in the spotlight has continued ever since.
