Unfiltered chatter with Shxtsngigs. Picture Supplied UK podcast stars Shxtsngigs, or SNG for short, are finally making good on years of South African direct messages to the duo, telling them to stop teasing and show up in person. The pair, James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, will bring their Daddy’s Home tour to the Johannesburg Goldrush Dome on 24 January and Cape Town’s Grand Arena on 27 January, a trip they said has been a long time coming.
SNG has no filter, and their take on sex, relationships and pop culture has built a global following that’s taken them offline to some of the world’s biggest stages. Not since Justin Bieber have artists transcended the divide between online and real-life at a significant scale. Fuhad:We’ve wanted to come to South Africa for time.
Every time we announce a show, the first comments are from South Africans telling us to stop playing around and come over. It has been in the works for years; we just needed the right moment. We’re so excited that it is finally happening.

James:When we announced our first international dates in North America. We were gassed, but the South African fans were like, “Okay, cute, but when is it our turn?” Then, when we announced Australia and New Zealand last year, the comments went wild. That is when we knew we could not announce anywhere else without sorting South Africa first.
Fuhad:The podcast is just us being boys. We used to go on mad nights out, wake up feeling rough and spend the whole next day cracking up about what happened. James dragged me into the podcast game, and at the start it was just that, laughing at each other’s nonsense and talking about shows, anime and random stories.
Then people outside our group chat started listening. We brought in the segments, the icks blew us up, and everything evolved from there. People came for the jokes, but I think they stayed because they felt like they were in the room with us.
