Episode Details

On Stories From the Pacific, host Wendy Mocke sits down with the brilliant Tommy Misa, a storyteller who reminds us that some of the deepest truths arrive wrapped in laughter. 

From the queer bars of Sydney to the global stage of the Biennale, Tommy's work has carved out space for the misfits, the hard workers and anyone who has ever felt out of place under theatre lights.

A master of the Samoan Clown, a former nutritional medicine student who followed a literal dream to the stage, Tommy creates art that is as fiercely funny as it is profoundly moving. 

Together, they talk about finding home, the power of satire, and why the most enduring art is always about connection.
