Riaad Moosa: Strictly Halaal

Overview

This is my first ever one man show. I did it YEARS ago. It's the full show. I called it 'Strictly Halaal', which was quite an unusual title for a comedy show back in the day. Up til that point, our ensemble comedy audiences were homogeneously white. When I started doing my one man shows, suddenly the scarves, kurtas and beards started coming out to the comedy shows. It seems like a lifetime ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. But looking at the suit I was swimming in, a part of me would rather forget.
