  • Summary

  • Tami sits down with Mizrahi comedian Rapha Manajem to talk about his upcoming Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, The Salmon Was Good. Rapha who proudly claims a Mizrahi/Ashkenazi – and potentially Sri Lankan Jewish – heritage dives into the chaos of identity, family and his most memorable experience as a Jewish youth movement leader.

    As one of many Aussie-Jewish comedians lighting up MICF this year (alongside Jude Perl, Josh Glanc, and Jacob Sacher), Rapha gives us a taste of what to expect from his show. Did we mention he’s Mizrahi?
