John Akoy Pech is a rising comedian who took the challenge of combining the challenges of being a refugee or new arrival in Australia to a stage in terms of comedy. Akoy came up with the idea because of the situation he described as the only time can can have the best laughter is when we all share the pain, happiness while sitting together. Akoy talked about the challenges faced by the South Sudanese-Australian from expensive marriage, divorce, lack of cohesion in the community and why it is necessary to live as one people? Akoy spoke with SBS Dinka Radio team from NSW but his first show of the comedy will take place in Brisbane.
