Jay Wymarra - is a Tropical Fruit
Jay Wymarra Is a Tropical Fruit is a surefire sweet and spicy way to spend an hour, peppering punchlines into stories with such levity and brightness that you can’t help but smile ear-to-ear.
Wymarra exudes such a warming presence on stage, spending his hour exploring the duality of his Torres Strait Islander identity and his pansexuality. His storytelling is ripe with juicy details and feels totally organic, a splash of unabashed joy unlike anybody else.
Where other stand-up shows falter with their need for edginess, Wymarra shines in his authenticity. It’s utterly delightful, punchy in the right places and bursting with off-the-cuff brilliance, fourth-wall breaks and quippy callbacks that feel totally earned. It’s so refreshing to witness a voice like Wymarra’s emerge as one of the best in the business. He has a talent that should be on the big stage, and I’m so excited for what is to come next.
Jay Wymarra Is A Tropical Fruit will be at the The Motley Bauhaus Cellar, 8:30pm until April 19th, 7:30pm on Sundays
