I have in no way cynically leveraged my life story and timed this tour to profiteer off the tense mood on immigration in the nation, and any such accusation will be met with litigation from my mother." - Tadiwa   Tadiwa Mahlunge is one of the fastest-rising stars in British comedy, named by The Times as one of their "Top 3 Stars of Tomorrow".Tadiwa has appeared on Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Am I The A**hole (Comedy Central), Comedians Giving Lectures (Dave), Comedy Central Live, The Football's On (TNT Sports), and Live from Aberystwyth Pier (BBC Wales).
