Britain's What's On Event Guide
Daliso Chaponda ''Feed This Black Man Again'
Malawian-born stand-up comedian Daliso Chaponda has extended his UK tour due to popular demand. The tour, 'Feed This Black Man Again', is heading to Southend's Palace Theatre this June.
Daliso did his first solo show ‘Feed This Black Man’ 20 years ago in Canada, this hour saw him dissect the way Africans were always portrayed as starving, negative stereotypes that were all supported by charities. The jokes were mediocre, it included an offensive rap about poverty and the big finale was his eating a sandwich on stage...
Now, two decades and half a lifetime later, he is a seasoned writer and performer having secured a coveted spot on the Royal Variety Show, written and starred in four series of ‘Citizen of Nowhere’ for Radio 4 series (that was nominated for the Rose d’Or) and was a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent! So, 22 years after starting comedy, Daliso has achieved more than he imagined was possible!
“Touring comedy is what i love most and do best. What’s interesting about this show is that i look back on how i started, where i am and get to the bottom of why i love and need this. It’s all very therapeutic and new age, but also i think this show is full of fun”
