Anh Do's stage show combining stand-up comedy with real life stories, photos and filmed pieces.
Anh Do brings The Happiest Refugee Alive! to the Civic Theatre in Newcastle on Wednesday 3 March. It's a one-man stage show that blends stand-up comedy with storytelling, personal photos and film multimedia to recount his journey from a starving Vietnamese boat refugee to one of Australia's most beloved entertainers.
If you've read his book or followed his career, you'll recognise the core of it: the story of his family's escape from Vietnam and the years that followed. On stage, he tells that story through a mix of stand-up and more personal, heartfelt recounting, with photos and filmed pieces brought in to fill out the gaps. It's a one-man show, so it's just him up there, and it's described as an uplifting night.
