They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but Vietnamese-Australian comedian Thao Cao reckons it makes you funnier. Bringing her hilariously dark one-woman show What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Funnier to the stage, Thao turns near-death experiences, everyday racism and a lifetime of having her name butchered into 50 minutes of stand-up. From a contamination incident to a humanitarian crisis, nothing is off-limits in this deeply personal comedy set that's equal parts outrageous, uncomfortable and laugh-out-loud funny. With more than a decade of performances across Australia, Europe and the UK under her belt, Thao knows how to find the funny side of just about anything.
