About the episode
After the sudden passing of a close relative, Stella Wu had a realisation: 'What’s the point? We’re all going to die anyway.' That thought pushed her to quit her stable banking job and enrol in a comedy course - and she hasn’t looked back since. Now, she’s shaking up the Australian comedy scene. Defying her 'womanly duties', dismantling cultural norms, and making sure racists know that she definitely knows what 'condescending' means - Stella isn’t afraid to rock the boat. In this episode of Comedy Karma, Stella jumps on the mic to share her hilarious take on the Australian comedy scene. She chats with Aditya about the moment that sparked her leap into stand-up, her mother’s dramatic reaction to her tattoo, the quirks of dating in Hong Kong versus Australia, and plenty more laugh-out-loud stories.
