Diana Nguyen is Chasing Keanu Reeves. She is a Vietnamese- Australian comedian and actor she has featured in many comedy festivals, TED talks and television. But its far deeper than that. Her mother was a refugee and that story and legacy is wound through all of her work. It’s unique…. And after wanting to be nothing more than to be an Australian, she now weaves ethnicity, gender and tiger-mothers into her work.
She is edgy and funny.
We talk comedy, gender and ethnicity, sex and intergenerational conflict. Just the light stuff!
