Jalen Sutcliffe returns to Townsville for a long-awaited homecoming show, celebrating the community that raised him. A proud Darumbal, Kalkadoon, and Papua New Guinean performer, Jalen has spent years honing his craft across Australia, excelling in comedy, acting, and music. Now, he’s back for one night only with a loud, lovable, and unfiltered stand up set that leaves no stone unturned. NAFA audiences will witness one of the region’s most exciting performing arts talents on the rise. Through humour, culture, and connection, Jalen brings people from all walks of life together for a night of big laughs and shared community pride.
"Sutcliffe’s winning performance established him as a comic who continues the tradition of great physical comedy and self-deprecation. Stripping his “BBL” (Big Brown and Lovely) physique down to a skimpy lap lap, he was unafraid to dance and sing his way across the stage for an appreciative crowd." - Australian Arts Review

REVIEWS:
"A large loveable lad who clearly wants to play to big houses if his highly physical, highly revealing routine was anything to go by. First he wowed the crowd with his frog anecdote, then he let them have it with a raucous dance routine designed to delight. No complaints over his big win." - Herald Sun"Sutcliffe’s winning performance established him as a comic who continues the tradition of great physical comedy and self-deprecation.
