Emo Majok
Emo has come a long way considering the first years of his life were spent fleeing war in Ethiopia & Sudan, becoming the charming refugee cracking jokes about daily life in Perth’s northern suburbs, fatherhood and family life. Earlier this year Emo teamed up with buddy Joe White to perform a string of shows at Perth Fringe, before winning the WA state final of Raw Comedy and going on to perform for over 3000 people in the Melbourne 2018 Comedy Festival. Catch Emo live to giggle your way through his stereotype-smashing tales and relatable punch lines as he becomes the next loveable face of Perth comedy...........
