Comedy duo back by popular demand

Marriage is much like a road trip with its ups and downs and Ndumiso Lindi and Tumi Morake are no strangers to the concept.

Back by popular demand, Ndumiso and Tumi are hitting the road again with their hilarious stand-up comedy show, Married … But Not To Each Other. It’s not a show just about marriage, it’s about the world marriages has to survive in.

The comedy duo will be opening the 2019 season on May 24 at the Soweto Theatre. The show has already seen successful runs in Pretoria, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Mafikeng, Botswana, Port Elizabeth, Krugersdorp, Durban, Secunda and Nelspruit.

When asked how the show’s concept came about, Ndumiso retells the story of how the two were travelling on a comedy adventure and were asked by a customs official: “Are you married?”, to which Ndumiso replied: “Yes!”. He realised what he was saying and added: “But not to each other.” And thus began this comical journey for this wife and husband of other people in a hilarious show that tackles the roles and regulations of marriage and the pothole-riddled roads couples have to navigate.

Their unique brands of humor will create a memorable night and the duo is the perfect pair for this on-stage ensemble. A slightly different take on a comedy show, Married … But Not To Each Other sees Tumi and Ndumiso giving individual performances about their own experiences in marriage and romance and a joint set where the two banter and engage with the audience for a risque and hilarious take on relationships.

The show carries a PG-16 restriction.

Tour details are as follows:

May 24 – Soweto Theatre, Soweto, Johannesburg (tickets available at Computicket)

June 1 – Flamingo Casino, Kimberley (tickets on sale shortly)

June 8 – Performing Arts Centre of the Free State (PACOFS), Bloemfontein (tickets available at the venue or call 051 447 7772 for credit card or telephonic bookings)

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