Standing centre stage looking like sunshine and innocence personified in a gorgeous yellow dress is the talented Amna Bee.
However, when she starts sharing her personal experiences with cutting wit along with a cleverly crafted repertoire you can tell in the first few minutes there is going to be some A-grade humour that is less than appropriate.
The venue was packed as Amna delivered to a polite and engaged audience who were a little shy at times to respond to her questions and repartee yet, Amna skilfully coaxed crowd interaction in the form of group singing of her “favourite” song, Wonderwall. Laughter easily flowed throughout the performance.
This talented comedian built connections with the audience members through relatable content and banter. The crowd was enthralled while she told of her journey from Pakistan to Canada then via Melbourne to Alice Springs.
Masterfully weaving in cultural experiences whilst playing on stereotypes with cunning observations was amusing as well as thought-provoking.
Amna Bee’s “Don’t Tell My Family” was a hilariously entertaining comedy show, expect the unexpected and see it now in person before Netflix snap her up for a special.
