Profile

Can you give us a tweet-length summary of your show? It is all about snacks. People who eat snacks. And nerds. And arseholes. Arseholes who don’t eat snacks. Comes with Snack song. Snacks!

What was the last thing you couldn’t stop laughing at? Sam Simmons yelling at me from the stage at the Adelaide Fringe over my laughing fit. I haven’t laughed that hard since I saw Sam in Edinburgh last year.

What’s your favourite comedy film and why? Flying High is so good we continue to quote the movie 35 years after it was released. Surely that it puts it on top? Yes... and stop calling me Shirley.

What happened the last time you were heckled? I was bored. Hecklers are so rarely interesting. I used to enjoy sparring with someone when I was younger but now that I’m older I’d rather they just left.

What profession do you think would provide the best comic material? I’m guessing retail. Everyday contact with real people provides the best material. You can tell when a comedian spends too much time with comics, their material becomes too “in-house”.
