Creative Currency with Vafa Naraghi

Loading player...
In this episode of Creative Currency, we sit down with Vafa Naraghi a comedian, content creator, and entrepreneur who has turned culture and observation into one of South Africa’s most recognisable creative brands.

Born in Mahikeng to Persian parents, Vafa’s unconventional journey took him from the lecture halls of UCT to sold-out comedy stages across the continent, earning him multiple South African Comics' Choice Awards and a massive digital community of over 800,000 followers.

We'll be talking about why he walked away from civil engineering to pursue full-time comedy, behind the scenes of his nationwide one-man tour exploring identity, culture, and belonging and how he travels across all nine provinces to turn local lived experiences into powerful, unifying humour.
