Joe Avati, comedian
Description
"There's no health and safety in an ethnic house" - Joe Avati
On comedian Joe Avati's menu: making tomato sauce with the cousins, a three carat cake (no, that's not a typo), and fresh seafood in Spain.
Sides include: growing up Italo-Australian, bung-eyes, and funny memories of his brother Antonio who would have turned 50 this year.
Joe's social cause is the Kidney Foundation, his brother Antonio surviving until 42 years after having three kidney transplants during his life. The Kidney Foundation is the peak national body championing kidney disease prevention, early detection, and comprehensive patient care. They support the 1.7 million Australians affected by kidney disease by funding research, managing specialised holiday dialysis buses, offering peer support, and operating a free health professional helpline.
