Brad Austin moved to Melbourne from New York City seven years ago. It’s been rough: a difficult divorce led to crushing isolation; his only friends are his kids, who would rather be hanging out with their mum; he thought Aussie audiences would love his stand-up, but he made too many Silverchair references. And drowning his sorrows in booze wasn’t working because alcohol is very expensive here.

In Asunder Down Under, Brad finds the humour in finding one’s identity dismantled, and a funny way forward.
