Warooka’s most famous export, Fiona O’Loughlin, is hoping her Yorke Peninsula hometown has something special planned when she visits this weekend.

“I keep hinting that they’re going to unveil a plaque for me at Warooka but the hint keeps falling on deaf ears. Perhaps it’s a statue instead,” cackled O’Loughlin, who will perform a show at the local Town Hall on Saturday night.

“There’s me and there’s Cocaine Cassie (from Warooka)... if she gets a plaque before me I’ll be pissed!”

SA-born comedian and former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! star Fiona O'Loughlin is coming home to perform two shows this weekend.

Last year’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! winner will be joined on stage by her reality TV co-star Pete Rowsthorn, with the duo - as their alter egos Ron and Brenda - taking fans behind the scenes in the South African jungle.

“It’s crazy that we’re going to be in my hometown on Saturday... it’s been a fair while (since I performed there),” the funnywoman said.

“I will know just about everyone in the audience, so that always adds a bit of tension for me.”

Comedian Pete Rowsthorn will join his I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! co-star Fiona O'Loughlin for a show in Warooka, SA, this Saturday night.

O’Loughlin, 56, will also stop into Adelaide’s Rhino Room for a gig on Friday night, which will feature bits from her new show, Fiona Addresses The Nation.

“It’s like finding my voice a bit outside of my own personal stuff,” said O’Loughlin, who confirmed she will bring the show to next year’s Adelaide Fringe.

“It’s a show where I talk to the generation before me and beneath me... there’s a few things I’ve got to get off my chest,” she said.

“There’s something about being an older female stand-up, you get to this age and you can just put your foot on the pedal and go hell for leather - it’s so much fun.

After her much-publicised, long-running battle with alcoholism, O’Loughlin is now sober and loving life as a grandmother to one-year old Una Mary Dunne.

“She’s just heaven, I haven’t got one joke about her, she hasn’t done anything to annoy me yet. I thought it’d be so much material but no, I’m just obssessed with her. She’s just too perfect - it’s no joke,” O’Loughlin gushed.

“I’ve found a really nice spot in life. I wouldn’t have believed it if someone told me I’d be at my happiest at 56.”
