Ugandan Australian comic and poet Anisa Nandaula’s unique point of view and experiences fuel
the fresh new perspective she’s bringing to the local comedy scene and beyond.
Born in Uganda in 2001, Anisa moved to Australia when she was eight and grew up in
Rockhampton.
Anisa cut her teeth through spoken word. Winning the 2016 Queensland Poetry Slam and coming

to observations about navigating Australian society while black and back again.
Anisa has performed on Channel Ten, SBS, ABC and at the iconic Sydney Opera House and
supported Chelsea Handler during her Australian tour, further solidifying her presence in the
comedy scene.
