Nadun Hettiarachchi

Nadun Hetti is a Melbourne-based comedian and RAW Comedy National Finalist whose stand-up blends personal storytelling with razor-sharp observations on identity, culture, and belonging. Growing up during Sri Lanka’s civil war before moving to Australia alone at the ripe age of 18, Nadun weaves these experiences into comedy that’s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. He also jokes about his hobbies, which include reading, Jujitsu, and salsa dancing! Known for his dark twists and edgy misdirection, Nadun has toured nationally with Joe White and performed to over 1,500 people at Melbourne Town Hall. His comedy sits at an intersection of personal history, and sharp joke writing, challenging perspectives and keeps the audience on his toes.
