Anh has written a book about his amazing life story.
He finished a degree in business and law at the University of Technology, Sydney. When he was at an interview for a big job as a lawyer, the interviewer reached across the table and said 'congratulations Anh, you've got the job'. He added casually 'by the way, you'll be working about 60 hours a week'. He was doing stand-up comedy as a hobby at the time and one of the old comedians said he worked only three hours a week and made more than double his lawyer's salary. So he switched out of laziness.
Anh Do was also on Dancing with the Deals. This was where the Dancing with the Star contestants competed on Deal or no Deal and someone in Australia would win the money. Anh ended up winning 200,000 for a home viewer in Melbourne.
