Joe White / Tilahun Hailu: Born In A Sudanese Refugee Camp, Somehow An Optimist

The somehow optimistic and joyful Tilahun Hailu, having been performing as Joe White for just over a decade, is finally ready to embrace his birth name onstage. Born in a Sudanese refugee camp, and with an alcoholic abusive father who was driven off when Tilahun was 6 years old, who after that lived on the streets of Khartoum with his 5 siblings and single mother, who needed to be tied together at night so as not to be abducted, is one of the friendliest and most positive people in the Australian comedy scene. His stuff has put a lot of mine into perspective. Joe / Tilahun has shows on sale at the Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival right now you can get tickets at www.joewhitecomedian.com I have shows on sale in Wellington (this weekend) Dunedin Mar 12-14, Melbourne Apr 9-19 and upcoming shows in Darwin Singapore Thailand UK etc. coming online soon.
