COMEDIAN Tinaye Wayne is set to return to Bulawayo after two years, bringing his “Nothing to Hide” comedy show to Cotton Lounge on Friday from 6.30pm.
The show follows successful performances in Harare and Kadoma, with organisers hoping to attract another full house in Bulawayo.
“Nothing to Hide” features raw humour, personal stories and unfiltered commentary, giving audiences a glimpse into the comedian’s world. Known off stage as Tinaye Chiketa, Tinaye Wayne has built a following through relatable skits and sharp comedic timing, establishing himself as one of the emerging voices in Zimbabwean stand-up comedy.
He said his return to Bulawayo comes at a time when stand-up comedy is gaining popularity in Zimbabwe, with audiences increasingly embracing the art form.
He added that the tour had received an encouraging response and that he was looking forward to sharing new stories with Bulawayo audiences.
“We had a sold-out show at Reps Theatre in Harare in June. From there, we went to Kadoma and had another amazing show. People loved it. I was surprised by the potential Kadoma has.
“The last time I was in Bulawayo was two years ago, and I have a lot of new stories to share.
“The comedy sector in Zimbabwe is really growing. People are beginning to appreciate the art form, and the reception has been amazing. It feels like audiences have been waiting for us to come,” said Tinaye Wayne.
