Riaad is a medical doctor and both his parents are
doctors and all his aunts and uncles are doctors.
But his dad has always said to him, "Riaad, you can
do anything you want to in this world....as long as
you become an orthopaedic surgeon first."
Having trained as a comedy magician, Riaad was
challenged to move over to pure stand-up - propless,
gimmickless, trickless - for the adrenalin rush of
relying on just himself, his voice and thousands of
screaming fans.

award-winning and successful comedians; and happens
to be a qualified medical doctor as well! On stage,
he conquers new fans on an almost daily basis with
sold-out one-man shows such as “Strictly Halaal” and
most recently “Riaad Moosa For The Baracka”; both
shows prompted extended runs, as well as special
shows being created to accommodate the huge public
demand. Both shows were also released on DVD.
