Sam took over as a co-host on The Project in 2023. He couldn’t tie a tie. Whenever he’d wear one, he’d look like an outer suburban real-estate agent or a teenager on his way to court. He has overcome this huge personal and professional hurdle and is back with a huge new hour of comedy.

P.S he swears more than he does on telly.

In 2023, Sam released his stand up special Rooster on Paramount Plus. Seen on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Opening Night Gala and Host of The Project.

Self-help Singh is the alter ego of international comedian Masood Boomgaard. Self-help Singh, described as a comedic alternative life coach and de-motivational speaker, first appeared to Boomgaard in a vision after he fell and hit his head while rushing to the bathroom in an attempt to outrun the gastric consequences of bad lamb vindaloo.

Boomgaard has since been sharing the "common sense wisdom" and de-motivational teachings of Self-help Singh to millions of people on the internet. The Self-help Singh live show is a hilarious yet thought provoking juxtaposition of stand-up comedy, parody and motivational speaking.

During his decade long full time professional comedy career Boomgaard has performed in New York, London, Dubai and during the lockdown, in his father's garage. He lives in South Africa with his cat...for now.

Meet & Greet + GA Ticket option available - $135 +bf
