Shaun used his time off after Mad As Hell to stir a few pots – we’re currently enjoying Eve of Destruction and the first of his one-book-a-month-for-three-months release is out next week – and now we have the announcement of his SBS series to start in late September!
Shaun Micallef’s Origin Odyssey is a similar take to Who Do You Think You Are, which Shaun featured in an episode in 2012, but this show sees Shaun travelling with young comedians and discovering their family roots with them. Featured in this season are Aaron Chen, Arj Barker, Lizzy Hoo, Dilruk Jayasinha, Michael “Wippa” Wipfli and Nina Oyama, with travel to countries such as India, China, Japan and Ireland.
The series starts September 24th on SBS and also streaming on SBS On Demand.
