Anh Do | 19 June
Comedian Anh Do brings his best-selling memoir, The Happiest Refugee, to life in a ground-breaking new stand-up show at The Star Event Centre.
Anh Do travelled to Australia in 1980 on an eight metre fishing boat with 47 other Vietnamese refugees. Sick with dehydration and one person already dead, the journey was the first of many struggles for a young Do, who overcame all manner of difficulties throughout his life to become a lawyer and, in 2008, Australia's Comedian of the Year.
Today he is one of Australia's most sought after stand-ups, as well as a talented writer, actor, producer and corporate entertainer.
