If you’re looking for a night of side-splitting laughter, then look no further than Kitty Flanagan’s latest comedy show – Kitty Flanagan Live! The best-selling author of 488 Rules for Life and well-known celebrity from Fisk, Utopia and Have You Been Paying Attention? performs her first official hometown shows in Melbourne since moving here in February 2020 (ouch!).
Flanagan brings her A-game with a knack for turning ordinary everyday topics into hilarious observations that will have you in stitches. From exploring her relationship with shame, to delving into her mum’s split personalities Claire and Coco, you’ll soon learn that Kitty is the type of person who will offer her assistance to a stranger – even when you don’t want it.
Kitty’s ability to discuss real-world issues in a way that is both insightful and hilarious tackles topics including the differences between men and women getting older, wondering if parents ever try to get fired, and a song about the different types of underwear in her life. Her story-telling is top-notch and the honesty that she brings about her own life is both funny and refreshing.
If you’re thinking of venturing out to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, support a local hometown hero. Don’t hesitate in buying tickets to see Kitty Flanagan – Live! – even if just to find out what F.W.C stands for. You won’t be disappointed.
