The beginning of a new chapter

Tarneit’s Ciang Ajeic decided it was time to perform his first solo show as a stand-up comedian, and that is the only reason he needed to take the leap.

The 26-year-old is about to unleash ‘IN THE BENINGING’ and himself in the process.

The show, which will take place at Kindred Studios in Yarraville on April 4 at 6pm and April 6 at 4pm, will be an unapologetic portrayal of his thoughts, fears, opinions and life experiences.

“It’s a play on my whole journey, starting comedy as well as my life and upbringing,” he said.

Arriving in Australia as a refugee in 2004 and starting his comedy journey in the middle of the pandemic, Ajeic knows there is no point in waiting for the right moment.

“It’s the beginning of me pursuing comedy as a full time career, and I am trying to find my style and my audience,” he said.

“I feel like I am at that level where I want to make the next transition into show business.”

In a world where trepidation stops many, the message is clear – do it anyway.

“The fear I am feeling right now is what stops people doing what they want to do,” he said.

“I’m going to get vulnerable about my life because we are all flawed in our own ways.

“I’ll talk about it for everyone else and make it funny.”

They say laughter is the best medicine, so book your appointment with Dr Ajeic: https://linktr.ee/ciangajeic
