3. My new show, Riaad Moosa and Friends, will give audiences laughs and expose them to a diverse group of comedians.

4. The show was inspired by me always trying to give new comics a platform to expose their comedic voices. Also, I have four kids, so I need money for nappies, Lego, slime and Fortnite skins.

5. My plans for the festive season are work, kids, work, kids and work!
