Comedian and author Anh Do set to tell moving life story in live show at BREC

The moving life story of one of Australia’s most beloved entertainers is set to be brought to life for one night only at BREC.

Anh Do will bring his best-selling memoir ‘The Happiest Refugee’ to life when he ventures into town to perform a stand-up show at the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre on February 28.

Combining humour, real life stories, photos and filmed pieces, the retelling of Do’s life story is set to give audiences a moving, inspirational and unforgettable experience.

Do and his family travelled to Australia in 1980 on a leaky fishing boat that was nine-and-a-half metres long and two metres wide.

Sick with dehydration and one person already dead, the gruelling journey was the first of many struggles for the young Do, who overcame adversity throughout his life.

Now Do is one of the country’s most sought-after stand-ups, as well as a writer, actor, producer and the host of TV ‘Anh’s Brush with Fame’.

Along with many film and TV appearances, Do is also a talented painter and has been an Archibald Prize finalist in 2014, 2017 and 2019.

Do’s memoir ‘The Happiest Refugee’ was named the 2011 Australian Book of the Year, Biography of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.
