International comedian Masood Boomgaard is officially bringing the chaos, clarity and comedic “de-motivation” to Australia and New Zealand this July and August!

Best known as the mastermind behind the viral alter-ego Self-Help Singh, Boomgaard has built a global comedy brand that seamlessly bridges online dominance and live performance power. Now, with ANZ tour dates locked in, local audiences will experience first-hand why he’s become one of the most talked-about names in modern stand-up.

From Viral Vision to Global Stages

Self-Help Singh — the “comedic alternative life coach” whose razor-sharp, hilariously bleak motivational seminars have captivated millions — has amassed over 1.7 million Instagram followers alone. Across YouTube and TikTok, views continue to skyrocket, cementing Boomgaard’s reputation as a powerhouse of shareable comedy.

The origin story? Pure absurdity.

The character, Boomgaard jokes, appeared to him in a vision after he fell and hit his head while attempting to outrun “the gastric consequences of bad lamb vindaloo.” What started as a comedic experiment quickly evolved into a fully realised persona — one that would take him to stages in New York, London, Dubai and beyond.

But beyond the online satire, Boomgaard himself is a seasoned stand-up with more than a decade of touring experience. His live show pulls back the curtain on both the character and the world that inspired it, blending cultural commentary with sharp observations about modern society.

For Australian comedy audiences, known for their appetite for biting wit and self-awareness, it’s a strong match.

“I am looking forward to returning to Australia — one of the most misunderstood places on earth,” Boomgaard says. “Australians have an incredible sense of humour — which means as a nation you’re masking a lot of issues.”

His take on New Zealand? Equally fearless.

“I’m not sure what to expect but I’m sure it’s just as bad as Australia.”

It’s that blend of irreverence and intelligence that has built his global following and why this tour feels timely.
