From growing up during Fiji's coup to the Torres Strait: How comedian Jay Wymarra flipped the comedy script
A proud Gudang/Yadaykenu and Saibai man, Jay Wymarra is a hilarious comedian, fierce drag performer and self-confessed "black nerd".Born in Townsville, raised across Canberra, Fiji, and Wollongong, Jay's comedy blends sharp wit with deep love for community.From open mic's in Cairns to the stages of Edinburgh Fringe, he uses laughter as both survival and celebration.Whether he's serving up Reanna-Matrix, his drag alter ego, or taking aim at racism and homophobia, Jay is flipping the script — one punchline at a time.This edition of Stories From The Pacific was a repeat of the program broadcast on 14th May 2025
