“Tadiwa has been gathering pace as a prodigious act and landing a highly sought after spot on the Pleasance Reserve has cemented his star in the making status” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean
“He is ludicrously hard working so when you pair that with his natural talent it means every time you see him he's twice the comic he was - which was exceptional before” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean
