Jali
Oliver Twist presents
Jali

19 Jan 2022 to 23 Jan 2022

Jali: noun: a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician.   
 

Refusing to be defined by a turbulent past, comedian and performer Oliver Twist reflects on his time as a refugee while carefully unpacking his present-day experiences. Delicately-told and impossible to forget, his one-person show proves that exceptional storytelling and belly-aching laughter are powerful antidotes to trauma.   

Moving from Rwanda to Brisbane in 2014, Oliver Twist is one of Australia’s most exciting young comedians. A RAW national finalist, he has opened for Wil Anderson and Becky Lucas and performed alongside the likes of Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish. A sharp-witted storyteller, Oliver Twist is fast becoming known as an electrifying on-of-a-kind young talent. Originally part of Griffin’s 2020 Season, Jali is a vibrant journey that patiently demonstrates there is light at the end of the tunnel.  

 

JALI has just been nominated for Best Independent Production at the Sydney Theatre Awards, with Oliver nominated for Best Newcomer. Don't miss this spectacular debut from this rising star.
