Angella Dravid

Angella Dravid (born c. 1985/1986) is a New Zealand stand-up comedian, writer, and actress. She was born in Oman to a Samoan Christian mother and Indian Hindu father. Dravid emigrated with her family and settled in the rural town of Naracoorte, South Australia. In high school, she played the violin and later moved to the UK to pursue a relationship with a classical musician. The relationship turned abusive, and Dravid was arrested and convicted of assaulting her husband at the age of 19. After serving time in prison and a bail hostel, she pursued work at the Royal Ascot racecourse. Dravid has since made a name for herself in the comedy world with her unique style and performances.More
