Jo Gowda: What’s So Funny About Migrating

SBS South Asian - YouTube Thumbnail - Playlist (2).png

Bangalore-born comic Jo Gowda joins SBS Spice to talk about her new show Export Quality at the Sydney Comedy Festival — a sharp, funny take on the migrant experience in Australia. From navigating Brisbane’s eerie quiet to decoding how Aussies talk (and eat), Jo unpacks the layered reality of life as an outsider looking in. Offstage, she’s also raising a full-blown Aussie kid who loves Vegemite — and no, she still hasn’t made peace with it. Plus: a rapid-fire round as your favourite Bangalore dad. Listen wherever you find your podcasts.
