Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery: Oct 23

Indigenous comedian and actor Nakkiah Lui is guest tonight on Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery.

Nakkiah Lui is a one-woman multi-media phenomenon. She’s a prize-winning playwright, actor, comedian and enthusiastic taunter of society’s sacred Cows.

Nakkiah takes Julia back to her house in Sydney’s west to meet her parents, and talks of a childhood full of books, movies and the occasional attempt to run away.

In a Ford Laser they drive to her old primary school where she recalls refusing to stand for the national anthem. In an emotional scene they revisit the home where Nakkiah nursed her grandmother after an accident that inspired her play “Kill the Messenger”.

At the Belvoir Theatre in Surry Hills, Nakkiah talks about writing, acting and the importance of laughter.

8pm tonight on ABC.
