Summary

Comedian Joy Carter was found next to her dead sister in the Biafran war, and adopted by a wonderful British couple. She was bullied mercilessly at school for being a different colour and had to work through many issues as she moved into adulthood. Prepare to laugh and have your heart stirred and warmed as she shares lessons learnt on the road, at gigs, and through individual encounters. She is a joy-bringer, which makes for a good listen!
