From Sandton success to a hometown date
After the show’s run last November at the Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, TT Phasha is now preparing to take Live & Unleashed to Menlyn Protea Hotel – Fire & Ice on July 4. The comedian shared that the demand to stage the performance back home finally pushed him to make it happen.
He described the local return as especially meaningful, explaining that he’s spent time around the country refining his material through travel and performances. For Phasha, bringing the show back to the people who raised him adds a personal layer that makes the night feel bigger than just another stop on the calendar.
A night of comedy, music, and big tour plans
Joining Phasha for the event, comedians Mdura and Masapo—performers from Eswatini and Lesotho—are set to open the show. Sello Sebotsane will also take part with a musical performance during the lineup.
Phasha teased what audiences should expect, promising a carefully planned evening that blends laughter, music, and memorable moments. He said he wanted to give people a specific kind of experience—one that offers a mix they may not usually see in a standard comedy outing.
He also highlighted that it’s uncommon to see international artists appear in a comedy setting, adding that he hopes the performance helps bring those entertainers’ fan bases to South Africa. In his words, the guests are seasoned performers who know exactly how to deliver.
Beyond the July 4 date, the comedian revealed that Live & Unleashed is part of a larger touring vision. He said the plan is to bring the production to multiple venues around the country, aiming to reach as many provinces as possible.
He further noted that the tour is scheduled to continue later in the year with stops in Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
Radio mornings and creative freedom
When he’s not on stage, TT Phasha hosts Pheli FM’s morning show. Since joining the station in 2024, he said the experience has helped him build momentum, describing it as a place that encourages creativity.
Phasha credited the station with giving him space to explore his ideas, calling it an environment where he can grow and stay creatively active. He also pointed to the opportunity to connect with younger listeners—people who want mentorship—as one of the most rewarding parts of the role.
