Hung Le

Hung Le is a violinist turned comedian who first made his mark in 1987 as the winner of Hey Hey It's Saturday's "Red Faces" (Australia's then top rating national variety show). 

Since then, Hung has appeared at numerous comedy festivals and venues both here and overseas. The Vietnamese-born performer, now based in Melbourne, has made documentaries for the ABC, SBS and Discovery Channel. He has appeared in feature films including The Wogboy, Fat Pizza and Broken Hill. 

The Crappiest Refugee (Affirm Press) is Hung's endearing memoir about a boat person who never found his land legs, but who has always seen the funny side.
