Multi-award-winning comedian Vafa Naraghi continues to build on what started as a hobby in late 2017, performing to a group of friends, with his inaugural national stand-up comedy tour, Becoming South African.
The first show took place in Mahikeng, North West, last month kick-starting the 11-city tour that culminates at Johannesburgs Lyric Theatre in December.
Born to Persian parents and brought up in Mahikeng, Naraghi speaks six languages, including Setswana, isiXhosa, Afrikaans and Farsi, making his comedic style both deeply relatable and refreshingly original.
