Anh Do returns to his painting studio with nine prominent Australians in the much-awaited third series of Anh’s Brush with Fame. The charismatic comedian, writer and portrait painter delves beyond the public faces of his well-known subjects to capture not only their likeness, but their spirit.

Also featuring Munjed Al Muderis, John Williamson, Lauren Jackson, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Sigrid Thornton, Anh invites us to join him in an intimate and revealing conversation with some of our biggest names. But when it comes time to reveal their portrait, how will they react?
