Tumi Morake embarks on a nationwide tour
"There are people who have heard of Tumi Morake, there are people who have seen Tumi Morake but there are many that don't actually know Tumi Morake. They are finally going to meet her." - Tumi Morake.
Tumi Morake is taking her comedy to the people by embarking on her first official South African tour.
Tumi will be entertaining audiences from Nelspruit to Cape Town with her one-woman show, Tumi or Not Tumi.
The show follows her journey as she tries to find herself in the schizophrenia of motherhood, wifehood and South African-hood amidst being the Queen of Comedy.
Tumi Morake made history in 2016 by being the first female to be crowned Comic of the Year at the 6th annual Savannah Comic's Choice Awards and she's not ready to give up that crown just yet.

"After 10 years in the industry, it's crazy that I have never done a South African tour. Well, the time has finally arrived. The comedy industry in this country has grown so much in terms of offerings and demand. South Africans seem to have an insatiable appetite for it and hopefully I can whet their tastebuds with this new show," says Tumi.
Raw and unapologetic, the show promises to be thought provoking and provide a glimpse of what life could be like if we made a little effort - putting us all, and herself, under the spotlight.
Since beginning her career in 2006, Tumi has steadily grown into one of SA's most sought after comedians, with numerous nominations and awards under her belt, including receiving the 2016 YOU Spectacular Award for Best Comedian of the Year.
