Jay Wymarra
is a Tropical Fruit
Aboriginal All Stars regular and Comedy Zone alumni brings a new hour squeezed fresh from North Queensland. Jay Wymarra is part Torres Strait Islander and part queer wizard, ripe with sparkling wit, juicy yarns and just enough tangy bite. Join Jay in his world of wayward aunties, embarrassing uncles, a celebrity encounter or three and his trusty uke ready to spit some hilarious verse (if that verse is a word perfect rendition of 'I Wanna Be Like You' from The Jungle Book. Really.)
Tropical Fruit is a refreshing take on life from one of comedy’s rising stars, and contains your daily recommended serving of laughs.
Directed by Lauren Bok
