Have a laugh with Deadly Darwin comedians
|
|
Deadly Darwin are three Northern Territory comedians in town for the Adelaide Fringe, and they're bringing their show 'Back in Blak' to UniSA!
The comedy trio aims to create healing and reconciliation using comedy, and they hope to get the audience to reflect on any unconscious bias and find ways to create a better world through this one-hour special of comedic performance including Q&A.
Hosted by Wirringka Student Services, we invite you to join us in this reconciliation event for a good laugh. Tickets are only $10 + booking fee (normally $25). |
