Sara Schaefer’s latest isn’t a comedy show – it is a workshop. Going Up explores the theories and processes involved in Comediocity – a multi-step plan to becoming a successful comedian, all while showing off her incredible miniature-making skills, of course.
Recruiting new members into the cult of comedy, Sara takes you through a seminar on how to get to the top as a comedian – all by climbing the rungs of a comic’s most important tool, the humble stool. Sharing an insight into the industry, all while making cleverly-placed jabs at her peers, Going Up will have you going through a whole range of emotions. From the show’s initial ‘WTF’ moments, to the all-relatable IH (Internal Heckler) scenes, Sara has learnt over the years the secrets to developing your TS (Tough Skin), and making your way to legendary status.
What was easily one of the most different shows of this year’s comedy festival, Going Up will have you cackling throughout, all while learning the fundamentals of what it takes to be the best.
Sara is playing the Cloak Room at Melbourne Town Hall until the end of the festival – make sure you check her show out before it’s too late.
