Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and raised in London, Kadi started comedy in 2002, and four years later was named best comedy newcomer at the Black Entertainment Comedy Awards.

In 2009, he twice performed to around 1,700 people in the O2’s smaller venue IndigO2 – where he had a string of guests including Ms Dynamite and Britain’s Got Talent dance troupe Diversity – prompting his managers Black Grape Productions to book out the main space for 2010.

He can sometimes be heard on BBC 1Xtra
