Jay Wymarra

is a Tropical Fruit

  • Australia

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

Melbourne International Comedy Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' spirit, imagination and rich history of storytelling and humour that is an inspiration to all Australians.

We accept the invitation to walk together with First Nations people towards a more positive future for Australia, as described in the Uluru Statement From The Heart.
