I think this award answers the question that I have been asking myself, which many of you are asking yourself… which is, what is a random tiny comedian doing at a film festival? The answer is he is disrupting it. I want to thank IFFM and the Victorian government- you are not the first government to call me disruptive.' 'I get described like Covid-19' He continued, 'I am not accomplished enough or talented enough to be at this festival with the people that you see here tonight. It is like they are your main dish, and I am your kadi patta (curry leaves).

It is an honour to make people laugh, and so as long as anyone is willing to put my name on the side of a building in Australia, I promise I will show up.
