Ray Badran: Junior

StarStarStarStar

"You want to get up on stage and give the guy a hug."

Back at Sydney Comedy Festival with new material, Badran spoke of his insatiable love for chocolate (especially Toblerone — hypothesising how the name came about), pranking his real estate agent with photographs of her placed around the house, and the madness of becoming a trending Twitter hashtag overnight.

His style of self-deprecating humour quickly puts the crowd at ease and sometimes also just makes you want to get up on stage and give the guy a hug. Brutally honest and at times darkly funny — the audience would have stayed for twice the length of the show.
