Fans in Johannesburg and Cape Town are in for a treat as Fuhad Dawodu and James Duncan of SHXTSnGIGS touch down for their “Daddy’s Home” tour.
The pair, famous for their podcast that has racked up over two million YouTube subscribers and 53,500 Patreon supporters, are performing in Johannesburg tonight and in Cape Town on Tuesday — both shows initially sold out months ago.
Although the Johannesburg show is technically sold out, organizers have released a handful of last-minute tickets, offering fans a rare opportunity to snag a seat.
Exploring Johannesburg Before the Spotlight
The comedians have been making the most of their time in the city, sharing Instagram stories of visits to Gold Reef City and other local attractions.
Their social media updates show that they’ve been enjoying Johannesburg for at least a couple of days, balancing downtime with last-minute tour preparations.
For SHXTSnGIGS, this tour represents more than just live shows.
It’s an opportunity to bring their podcast energy to audiences around the globe, following successful runs in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Podcast That Provokes Conversation
SHXTSnGIGS has never shied away from controversy.
In September 2024, during a six-week US tour, Fuhad and James appeared on Andrew Schulz’s podcast Flagrant.
Clips showed them laughing along to jokes that many criticized as racist and misogynistic, directed at Black women — a significant portion of their audience.
The backlash was swift. Both hosts issued an apology, acknowledging that there was no excuse for their behaviour.
They admitted that they were “in shock” at the time and simply wanted to move forward, but they promised to learn from the incident.
From Online Fans to Live Audiences
The “Daddy’s Home” tour is the podcast’s first major global live tour, giving fans a chance to experience the duo in person.
For many, it’s an extension of the connection they’ve built online — a chance to see the chemistry, banter, and candid humour that has made the podcast a viral hit.
For SHXTSnGIGS, this is more than a stage show; it’s a way to solidify their international presence and engage directly with the people who have supported them since day one.
Looking Ahead: More Shows and Bigger Dreams
The South African leg is just one stop in a tour that has already made waves across multiple continents.
The pair are expected to continue pushing the boundaries of comedy, sparking laughter and, occasionally, debate wherever they perform.
Whether it’s the packed theatres, the social media buzz, or the conversations that follow, Fuhad and James are proving that SHXTSnGIGS is more than a podcast — it’s a cultural phenomenon on the move.
Tickets Still Available for Johannesburg
For those still hoping to catch the Johannesburg show tonight, a limited number of tickets remain.
Fans are encouraged to act fast, as this is a rare chance to see one of the internet’s fastest-growing comedy acts perform live in South Africa.
With Cape Town next on the schedule, excitement is building across the country, signaling that the “Daddy’s Home” tour is set to make a lasting impression on the South African comedy scene.
