WOW IS COMING TO GLADSTONE!
WOW MARKETPLACE & FREE COMMUNITY PROGRAM
The brightest, boldest and baddest babes of comedy come together to present a knock out show of satirical mirth and systemic change, breakdowns and breastmilk, love, laughter and lament!
There's a fire in the belly of the women comedians headlining this year, with the musical stylings of International mega star @jackieloeb comedy mum on a mission @bronlewiscomedy the wild sass of Butchulla, Mununjhali and Woppaburra woman Janty Blair, the rising star of Singaporean born @tinglimcomedy , and the powerhouse of @alexandrahudsoncomedy centring disability on stage to use comedy to create meaningful change and MC, Mum of 5, social activist and bloody good sort @mandy.nolan
These are women from the margins of every neighborhood, coming to the table, not to set it with dinner, but set it on fire! Who knows, while old men seem hellbent on taking us to war, maybe Funny Women will save the World!
Mandy Nolan is a force of nature. She's not just a comedian; she's an author, journalist, activist, educator, humour therapist, a mum of 5, and a bloody good sort – truly "never just one thing!" She's a passionate voice for the unheard, a "trouble maker" who reframes it as a "change maker".
