Riaad Moosa virtually trying to crack a joke

Riaad Moosa said it’s a case of keeping busy and putting out adapted content despite national and global issues, all the while making light of the situation.“We are going through a difficult time at the moment, but a lot of humour will come out of it and we must feel fortunate that we live in a time where we can continue virtually with work. We try to control something in a way that is unprecedented, and there’s a lot of debate about what exactly is going on.

Following its debut in Cape Town last year, Moosa intended to tour the show across the country but his plans were upended by Covid-19.“Not from the Baxter Theatre, not from the CTICC, I’ll be streaming from my home, possibly my bedroom, which is weird as you can’t feed off the audience and feed off the laughter. Plus, my kids could walk in at any time.”

Last Friday, Moosa’s show Life Begins premiered to a global audience. “The responses have been amazing. I’m very grateful and enjoying them, it seems to be trending and going well. It’s also been fun seeing the subtitles not being entirely correct. When I use South African colloquialisms or Cape Flats jargon, then the subtitles sometimes don’t work out.

Moosa made his streaming debut last year in the Netflix special Comedians of the World, in which he performed alongside fellow local comedians Loyiso Gola, Tumi Morake, and Loyiso Madinga.
