“No, I’m not drunk… I haven’t been drinking with these boys. This is just how I talk now!” Greek comedian Katerina Vrana joins Ouzo Talk for a hilarious and deeply candid conversation about the life-changing illness that nearly killed her, and the unlikely place where it all happened: Malacca, Malaysia. From the aftermath of her illness and adapting to life with a disability, to comedy, Greece, identity and finding humour in the unexpected, Katerina brings unrelenting honesty and wit to the Distillery. And, as she quickly discovers, by her own admission her speech fits right in with two blokes who have had a few ouzos themselves. It’s a funny, moving and unforgettable conversation with one of Greece’s most unique comedic voices.Huge thanks to the Greek Consulate in Sydney for helping to make this episode happen, and to <a href='https://thegreekprovidore.com.au/'>The Greek Providore</a> for their continued support! <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1873222/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1873222/support">Support the show</a>Email us at ouzotalk@outlook.com Subscribe to our Youtube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalk'>https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalk</a> Follow us on Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalk'>https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalk</a> Follow us on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/'>https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/</a>
