Sydney Comedy Focus: Amanda Buckley: Yourovision! The Improvised Song Contest

Briefly describe your show. It is Eurovision improvised. Our audience will provide the title of the songs and then the performers will battle it out to get the audiences' vote! Douze points!

What was the inspiration behind your show?  I do a lot of long-form narrative musical improv and I was looking for something a little different that could still feel like an event.

Eurovision is pretty much the biggest event musically I could think of and adding improv to that felt like a perfect marriage.

What happened the last time you were heckled?  My four-year-old son heckled me during a kids show. I was playing a princess (obviously) but he yelled out that I was not a princess, I was Mum. Classic heckle

What's a ridiculous situation you've been in that you got a joke from?  Queen Latifah saw me dance once during her talk show back in 2000 - she walked up to me and asked me if I could "get any more white"? The answer is obviously no.

What was the last thing that had you in side-splitting laughter? When my four-year-old demanded I buy him some "cock porn" at the movies.

When and where is your SCF show? 4 May, Factory Theatre
