Looking For A Visa

They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. However, when you are born and raised in a refugee camp, life doesn't give you fruits. The World Food Program does. Life gives you trauma! But if you are a comedian like Akau Jambo, you can still turn the trauma to humour.

Looking For A Visa is a show written and performed by Akau Jambo, a South Sudanese stand-up comedian telling his story from a refugee camp to an award-winning touring stand-up comedian. In this show, Jambo outlines the struggles of traveling as an African comedian.
