In 2017, Nadun Hetti was just a teenager who left war-torn Sri Lanka and ended up in Australia.
Today, he’s one of Australia’s rising comedy stars and an award-winning comedian. In this hour, Nadun shares his unique origin story — from growing up during the Sri Lankan Civil War to navigating life down under. His humor is raw, relatable, and unapologetically bold, delivered with sharp punchlines and a dark twist.
The show touches on everything from war, migration, and mental health to the struggle of getting Australian citizenship. Featuring a rotating line-up of diverse openers, this is a night of comedy you won’t forget.
A RAW Comedy National Finalist and soon to appear on SBS — catch Nadun De Alwis before he blows up... or gets deported.
