Liz Skitch

Can you give us a tweet-length summary of your show? I play five characters: a reality 'star', a celebrity trainer, a wedding celebrant, a small dog lover and a bridezilla. Theatre/black comedy.

Describe your perfect audience: Open-minded, GSOH and enjoys sitting in dark rooms watching comedy shows.

Besides making people laugh, what else do you hope people get from your comedy? I think we are all getting a bit selfish and losing sight of what is really important… hoping the show might stimulate a bit of self-reflection.

What's your favourite comedy film and why? Best In Show. The characters they've come up with are so recognisable but keep on surprising you. And the dogs – oh the dogs! I love all Christopher Guest's films.

What would you be doing if you weren't a comedian? I'd probably be a grumpy English teacher in a high school, wearing a cardigan. And I'd coach the debating team.
