And the story continues, an exceptional touch to ethnic humour. This year Kim Huong returns with Phil and not Phi and the audience is left grasping for reasons why. Dragon Mum Kim Huong, reminds me of the reasons why I appreciate my very own heritage but completely understand Phi.
Phi and Me 2013, yet again opens another insight into a lifestyle of the typical Vietnamese Australian family. Diana Nguyen’s capture of Kim Huong as a single mother whom left everything looking for a better life in Australia is such a different spectrum of humour. She invites us to feel the joys and pains of the post refugee lifestyle and how Kim Huong, Phi and many others like themselves have adapted.
Seemingly over exaggerated, Diana and her co-stars always have a very accurate depiction of the daily troubles. Co-star, Steve McPhail plays an phenomenal amount of extra characters and his ability to step into characters beyond his own culture is something quite commendable. Shows like Phi and Me, have a knack for breaking the forth wall and always engaging the audience which makes the experience somewhat terrifyingly more enjoyable.
From Springvale’s famous Tommy haircut salon to your favourite Vietnamese cuisines to scamming immigration for visas, this year’s show leaves you hanging onto your seat for surprises. So don’t hesitate to buy Kim Huong’s book or a ticket to the show!
