The show is dubbed #BiziRiot, which means call the riot police.
Moyo said all was set for his first one-man show for this year.
“All is set for the show and this show is one of a kind that’s why we are calling it #BiziRiot. That’s a call to the riot police. There is going to be need for riot police to control the unrest and stampede that will be caused by people’s laughter on the night,” he said.
