COMEDY LEGENDS WITH BRAND NEW SHOWS THIS YEAR
If you’re new to MICF, tell us about you. If not, tell us what you’ve been up to since last time you were here.
I performed this show last year, and it’s back. It sold out during Edinburgh Fringe and since then I’ve written two shows Petty B*tches and Bada--. Have also been having a blast hosting the After Hours Cabaret Club, got engaged and now have two cats — Aretha and Batman.
Spruik it! Who should see your show, and why?
Anyone who struggles to be an adult will love this show.
I’ve also had a lot of parents of the people like me (who are bad at being adults) come along to the show to try and understand us … I’m not sure it helps, but they always have an excellent time at the show.
What’s your No. 1 tip for people coming to see a show at the comedy festival?
Don’t use your TV face to watch the show, please, for the love of god, if you have a resting bi---h face sit at the back, or wear a balaclava. At least I can banter with you about the balaclava then.
Which other comedians/shows are you keen to see at this year’s festival, and why?
Bron Batten, Isabella Vallette, Nikki Osborne, and Gillian English.
What stands out to you about Melbourne?
I live in Melbourne, it’s the best. Please bring a jumper.
