Join comedian and writer Oliver Twist in conversation with Caitlin McCartney as they discuss his memoir, Jali.
Jali: noun: a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician.
Oliver Twist: a charismatic comedian and performer refusing to be defined by his turbulent past.
Oliver Twist was four years old when he and his family fled the aftermath of genocide in Rwanda for Malawi. What followed was a 14 year long journey to freedom, which culminated in Twist moving to Australia and creating his acclaimed one-person show, Jali. Twist has turned the turmoil he and his family endured into a thrilling adventure of a hero's journey. Powerful, heartbreaking and full of humour, Jali marks the arrival of a dazzling new voice.
