Mining everything from racism to relationships religion to class has seen her amass more than 50 million views of her work across Instagram Tik Tok and YouTube and more than 200000 social media followers. In her captivating comedy special Anisa Nandaula invites you to explore the hilariously complex world of being a Black girl in Australia.


With sharp wit and relatable anecdotes Anisa reflects on her journey from Uganda to Rockhampton where she anticipated a multicultural paradise but instead found cows and cultural confusion. At the heart of her show are the relationships that shape her perspective – her boyfriend her mother and her classmate Rachel.


Anisa dives into her first encounter with her boyfriend examining her views on masculinity while also navigating the challenges of being a woman in a new country. She candidly addresses mental health sharing her experiences as an "awkward Black girl" and the societal pressures that come with it. Through funny and poignant stories about cultural misunderstandings bathroom mishaps and the struggle for acceptance Anisa highlights the beauty of individuality and the power of laughter in overcoming life's challenges.


This is a celebration of love identity and the unique relationships that define us. Don’t miss this unforgettable show that promises to resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place offering a refreshing perspective on the complexities of life love and belonging.

'Anisa is a must-see! Unlike any comedian you've ever seen... unless you know another Ugandan-Australian comedian. I promise you will laugh out loud!.' Chelsea Handler
