Daniel will be sharing stories with Shirley Le (Funny Ethnics), a fellow writer from the  Sweatshop Literacy Movement based in Western Sydney. And you can expect a very entertaining evening as Daniel also dabbles in improv comedy! His book has been described as ‘wildly absurd, sharply insightful and disarmingly heartfelt’. This is one event you won’t want to dodge!
