Claire has written, directed and performed in a number of theatre shows.
2. Celia Pacquola ~ Award Winning Female Comedian Australia
Celia Pacquola, a multi-award-winning comic, has cemented her position as one of the most in demand female comedians in Australia, while also forging a comedy career in the UK and abroad.
Her stand-out solo festival shows have all earned rave reviews in Melbourne to Edinburgh. Celia has also appeared at the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, and this year became the youngest woman to host the Oxfam Gala for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival/Network Ten.
3. Denise Scott ~ Comedian/Broadcaster/Writer/Actor/Presenter
Denise first started working as a professional actor and comedian nearly thirty years ago, but it has been in the last decade or so that Scotty has gone supernova – winning awards, selling out theatres, appearing on high-rating TV shows and writing two popular memoirs.
Her show Regrets, was awarded the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Directors’ Choice Award. In addition, Denise won a Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer. Then she made her long awaited debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and released her second book The Tour.
Fittingly, 2013 was all about touring for Denise, hitting the stage with her dear friend Judith Lucy in The Spiral. Their stand-up-slash-book-tour debuted at the Princess Theatre during MICF and went on to sell well over 30,000 tickets across Australia.
It’s a great time for Australian female comedians. In 2016, it seems that everything is coming up Scotty!
