“It’s one thing to be the first but it’s even more special to be counted among the best. And being the only female comedian from the continent makes it even more special. For the industry to grow, the artists need to grow and diversify. To look like I have staying power means everything to me,”. “Sometimes we sell ourselves short,” she adds.

About performing on the American continent for the very first time, Tumi also mentioned that it was exciting, frighting, eye-opening, and a growing experience for her. She concludes, “Netflix gave us the power to edit our own specials so I’m really curious to see the two Loyiso’s and Riaad’s episode because I watched them live and I watched it going: ‘This is perfect from start to finish and I wouldn’t change anything!”
