Akmal Presents My Family and Other Criminals

Comedian Akmal Saleh returns with stories about the people who shaped his life.

There’s the uncle who spent years pretending to be a doctor after skipping medical school and simply buying a stethoscope and a white coat.

There’s the Coptic priest who heard his confessions and doubled as the local exorcist, only to be found with several demons of his own. And there’s the millionaire uncle who, while visiting the Saleh family, gave himself an enema with the garden hose, which the family never drank from again.

Date: 24 February 2027
Time: 7.30pm to 9.00pm
Venue: Margaret River HEART – Nala Bardip Mia
