Naomi Mourra Sydney's only Lebanese, lesbian, ex-Jehovah's Witness, comedian

As Sydney's only Lebanese, lesbian, ex-Jehovah's Witness, comedian, Naomi Mourra grew up as a door-knocking Jehovah's Witness and closeted lesbian to Lebanese parents in the 1980s in Cabramatta, Sydney, Australia.

Naomi is your gateway woman to chicks, chickpeas, cults and culture.

Her solo shows, An Open Book, debuted in 2018.

An Open Book, Naomi explores her own anecdotes as well as some of the Biblical stories you may (or may not) know and what lessons our modern world can learn from them. Like why you shouldn't turn around, why seeds must never be spilled and why it's really important to be articulate in a registry office.

She's been around the block a few times and knows that when opportunity comes knocking, sometimes it's best to pretend you're not home and that for every door that closes another also closes.

"Laughed out loud! It was like someone holding up a mirror - which they so rarely do!" - God
