About the episode
Award-winning comedian, screenwriter and actor Sunanda Sachatrakul was born in India, raised in Bangkok, and lived in New York and Los Angeles before making Naarm Melbourne her home. She decided to leave the USA for Australia after Trump came to power. We listen to some of her jokes, including one about giving interviews in an American accent. She talks to Aditya about coming out as queer to her family during a comedy show, growing up in a closely-knit Indian community in Bangkok, her seventeen years in America, meeting the most Aussie Punjabi Indian lady she has ever seen and much more.
