The moment you think you’ve got a handle on things, life throws you a twist. This is a show about the unexpected and the twists… or is it? Come and see.

Award-winning writer, podcaster, performer, comedian, ex-corporate lawyer and (sort of) banjo player Alice Fraser’s reliably silly, unpredictably meaningful, narratively unorthodox, gut-punch comedy has earned her awards, globally broadcast comedy specials and appearances on TV and radio (Amazon Prime, BBC, ABC TV) and multiple podcasts. 

Her comedy chops span the satirical, social, philosophical and personal, adeptly infused with trademark silliness and clever charm.

Splitting her time between Australia and the UK, Alice is probably from Australia but what are countries and why should we care?

The co-host of Andy Zaltzman’s cult satirical podcast 'The Bugle' and host of her own spin-off 'The Gargle' is back from another critically-acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where her gut-punch comedy collected four and five star reviews and was named one of The Telegraph (UK)‘s Best Shows of 2022.
