Unplanned happenings
Tol Ass Mo aka “ Mongezi Mahlangu “is some gugu gaga , weird ass , crazy
SA comedian from Jozi who just kills me
as he has a sense of humour for days (
and I am a sucker for funny & weird guys ), so this Friday put on my
freaking dress on and headed to Melrose
Arch in Protea Hotel where Tol ass Mo had one of his shows . The show‘s thyme
was “Truth be told “ and boy was the truth told J.
The gig itself was
intimate, very classy setting, funny Mo’s attire was not that bad nor too colourful
but rather cool looking, i.e he dressed all
black and dope black and white jacket . The show started a bit late ( …as Mo
was running late !! black folks and time yerrr..) but once he got there it was
all laughter , I loved the fact that his favourite Hip- hop jam currently is “HoT
N***ga “ by Bobby Shmurd .. loveeeee that!!!! as its my JAM tooo and the beats on that track toooo dopeJ , anyway the show
began and right from the start Mo just killed it , I laughed so hard I was
crying and beside myself nje .
I must say that there wasn’t a time where I felt he made a
joke that wasn’t funny , I mean he was just on point about everything , from
the way he grew up , his jokes being influenced by his gram but the one thing that killed me the most was when he started talking
about “ black women’s hair “ , oooooh my word he literally had me crying and my
stomach was just in too much pain from the laughter … “ truth be told “ Tol ass Mo told the truth .
At the same time as Tol ass Mo was performing and cracking
everybody up , I was very impressed and inspired by him as a person as in
between his jokes ,he would be real and
serious for a sec about his thoughts on how
we live our lives today , the pressures of trying to impress others instead of
just being genuine and ourselves and living in accordance to what we can
afford, also appreciating the connections we make with others as real folks are
very seldom these days . The energy from the show was awesome for a lack of a
better word and apart from some gugu
gaga celebrities who wanted to be noticed , I have one thing to say : “bitches
please it wasn’t about you but Tol ass Mo’s night period “.
Honestly I get inspired by the most weirdest things and seeing Tol ass Mo perform was just one priceless
experience I ll never forget , just as seeing
our young “Diddy” Cassper Nyovest perform in Newtown two weeks back ( another gugu gaga moment for me ) .
Unplanned things have a way of sticking and influencing us
unexpectedly , as I was watching Mo perform my mind was literally stuck on one thought that I have been struggling to shake
off , but then again realised that you cannot control everything and sometimes
its best to just let shit happen and let the heart have what it wants .
Thanks for an awesome show TolASS Mo, as they say
