If you've seen Lou Wall, you know you have to see her again. If you haven't seen her, get in while you can. I'm trying to write something that doesn't make me sound like a fan girl, but I am.

If you could see anyone (possible or impossible) in your audience, who would it be?
Probs Lizzo. I'd be like wtf are you doing here Lizzo!?!? We'd laugh and then I'd finish my set while she accompanied me on flute.

What is one of your favourite comedy festival memories?
A couple of years ago I did my first comedy fest and my show closed on my 21st birthday. We were drinking from 11am in the morning and after I finished my show I decided to swim in the NGV fountain. It was pretty refreshing tbh.

Who is one of your favourite Melbourne Indie Celebratory Feminists?
I adore Jordan Barr. Dark, deeply satirical, filthy material that makes me cackle.

What three shows are you not going miss this comedy festival?
Chi Ngyuen LOTUS (DELIGHTFUL OMG)
Catherine Cohen The Twist... She's Gorgeous (Literally dead that Cat is performing in Aus)
Amrita Dhaliwal and Gemma Soldati in The Living Room (Cannot wait to see this off chops pair of clowns)

What else could MICF stand for?
Maybe It's Chronic Fatigue.

Jacci is another artists who I haven't seen ... yet. She also has a very short season at the beginning of the festival. Her show is described as "a look at identity politics (as a queer, autistic, veteran) through the lens of someone who never got it, didn’t get it and just felt like they would do their own thing regardless." See diverse voices. Listen to diverse stories. See new voices and remember that new doesn't have to mean young.
 
If you could see anyone (possible or impossible) in your audience, who would it be?
Hannah Gadsby.

What is one of your favourite comedy festival memories?
Getting to be a part of a Mad Pride line up with Felicity Ward as the headliner in 2019 when she sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" entirely in chicken clucks.

Who is one of your favourite Melbourne Indie Celebratory Feminists?
