Host Diana Nguyen

In a world where laughter often serves as the best medicine, Janty, a proud Butchulla Mununjhali Woppaburra Woman, shares her inspiring journey from midwifery to comedy. Her story resonates with many, highlighting the importance of following one's passion, regardless of age or background.

The Comedy Breakthrough
Janty's foray into comedy began four years ago. Winning the 2022 Deadyly Funny Finals opened doors for her, leading to an invitation to perform with the Aboriginal Comedy All-Stars in Edinburgh. Jantyshares, "Two weeks later, I was on a plane to Scotland, doing 28 shows in 29 days." Her passion for comedy shines through as she describes the excitement of performing and connecting with audiences.

The Transition from Midwifery to Comedy
Janty's journey into comedy wasn't a sudden leap; it was born from a desire to embrace life after a personal loss. "What would I do if I knew I couldn't fail?" she asked herself after the passing of a close family member. This introspection led her to pursue acting and drama at Queensland University of Technology, proving that it's never too late to chase your dreams.

Janty's story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent oneself. From being a dedicated midwife to becoming a celebrated comedian, she shows that laughter and storytelling can transcend barriers. Her journey encourages us to embrace our passions, celebrate our cultural identities, and connect with others through shared experiences.
