5. No dick jokes. The absence of the beloved dick joke has nothing to do with respect for my husband and everything to do with boredom. This is what happens when you start having sex at 17, get married at 21 and don’t die.
4. What message? I do jokes and storytelling, both from the perspective of a cynical Gen Xer. If you’re looking for messages of redemption or hope, go see Anthony Robbins or [insert name of very successful Oz female comedian here].
3. Hey gang, we can put on the show in the backyard! You get to be part of the creative process. This show will have had precisely one performance before being laid at the feet of you, some of the most sophisticated stand-up audiences in Australia. Believe me, this wasn’t the plan. The plan was to polish it on the fringe festival circuit. First Sydney. Cancelled. Then Melbourne. Border closure. Don’t worry, there’s Adelaide! I get Covid. So, no eye rolls if you see me reaching for my notes. We’re in this together as I shape this elephant into a tour-ready whippet.
2. Something for everyone. What can I say, I’m a people pleaser. Don’t let the title fool you. Whether it’s pop culture or dry vaginas, everyone gets a slice of fairy bread.
