Comedian Chris Lilley has hit back at his critics.
The 48-year-old funnyman was responding to claims that he has been 'cancelled' after Netflix removed four of his shows in 2020 over blackface portrayals.

Meanwhile, Summer Heights High, Angry Boys and We Can Be Heroes are still available to viewers on local platforms including Apple TV+.
