I Flew Here: Nadun Hetti
Directed by Tom Ballard, award-winning comedian Nadun Hetti delivers a fearless, laugh-out-loud hour about war, migration, identity and becoming "Australian enough." After arriving in Australia as a teenager fleeing the Sri Lankan Civil War, Nadun turns his extraordinary journey into sharp, story-driven stand-up packed with dark twists, big laughs and genuine heart. Honest without being heavy and provocative without being preachy. His comedy explores racism, citizenship and belonging with intelligence and warmth.
