In a unique comedy experience, Riaad Moosa brings his beloved character, Cassim Kaif, back to the big screen in a double feature of live stand-up comedy and a special ‘Comedian’s Cut’ screening of New Material.

The screening and comedy session will take place in Durban on July 30 at 20h00 at CineCentre Suncoast. Limited tickets (R200 per person including popcorn and drink) available at www.cinecentre.co.za

As an award-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter, Riaad Moosa is one of South Africa’s most popular and acclaimed comedians – and he happens to be a qualified medical doctor, too.

“I’ve been cooped up doing virtual shows for two years and I’m thrilled to be able to perform to real people instead of emojis on my screen and to hear some real laughter instead of LOLs in the comment section. I’m excited to be back on the big stage and the big screen,” shares Moosa.

New Material is the sequel to the smash hit, Material, a hilarious and heart-warming film about a dutiful young Muslim man who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. The film also stars Schalk Bezuidenhout, Joey Rasdien, Zakeeya Patel, Denise Newman and media personality, Shashi Naidoo.

His relatable brand of comedy makes him a fan-favourite for all ages, showcasing one of South Africa’s best homegrown talent.
