Friends are the family you choose, and when you put nine comical friends on one stage, you get a guaranteed night of laughs and entertainment. Tumi and Friends will have audiences in stiches at Emperors Palace, Johannesburg on the 12^th August, 2017.

With a pool of incredibly talented local comedians, Tumi Morake has rounded up some of her friends in the industry – pure comic forces to be reckoned with.

On stage telling jokes is where Sifiso Nene is most comfortable. He is known for putting a humorous twist to his day-to-day experiences.

Tracey-Lee Oliver is a powerhouse singer, comedian and actress. While she is no stranger to the stage, her move to musical comedy has taken her to another level.
