About Tadiwa

Billed as “one of the country's top new comedy acts” by The York Press, Tadiwa Mahlunge has performed at, among others, the Latitude, Greenman, and Greenwich Comedy Festivals - alongside the biggest names in comedy - and has provided tour support for Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Jessica Fostekew, and TV warm up for Desiree Birch’s Amazon Prime special.

As seen on BBC 1, BBC 2, Dave, Comedy Central, UTV, Comic Relief and heard on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Northampton and BBC Sounds - Tadiwa Mahlunge has established himself as one of comedy’s hottest prospects. As such, he featured on the 2022 Pleasance Comedy Reserve at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

“Fearless comedian on the rise.” - Daniel Kaluuya

“VERY BLOODY FUNNY. AND NEITHER TOO TALL NOR TOO SHORT, WHICH IS GREAT.” - Aisling Bea

“Tadiwa has been gathering pace as a prodigious act and landing a highly sought after spot on the Pleasance Reserve has cemented his star in the making status” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean

“He is ludicrously hard working so when you pair that with his natural talent it means every time you see him he's twice the comic he was - which was exceptional before” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean
