"Doing a one-woman show brings out a strange AFL player mentality in me."

Can you give us a tweet-length summary of your show? FOMO is one woman, ten characters and a radio studio. It is a talkback program broadcasting from the inside of my head.

What do you find funny? Observing people on the train. I often wonder how I can bottle the essence of that person. I probably look really creepy just staring at them!

What do you find unfunny? The show is set in the radio world, so I listened to a lot of shock jocks to get a taste of it. It's unbelievable what they get away with.

What's a ridiculous situation you've been in that you got a joke out of? I went up to a friend on the street, hugged her with gusto, then began raving at her. Turns out she was a total stranger. Must wear glasses more often.

Do you have a pre-show ritual? I'm quite superstitious. If the venue has two toilets, I'll use the same toilet cubicle every night! Doing a one-woman show brings out a strange AFL player mentality in me.
