On this episode of Do It Again But Better, Jess chats to actor, singer, dancer, fellow marriage celebrant and radiant improv gal Alexia May Brinsley. Ever inspiring and full of energy, this chat took place on top of two pilates reformer machines as Alexia shares some incredible audition stories, including the "yoga retreat" that was actually full of lap dances, the time that she didn't quite make the cut as a hobbit, and the time that she possibly made a mortal enemy out of a pianist...
Alexia triples as an improvisor, fitness instructor, and marriage celebrant. The holy trinity of lots of public speaking. She is also Musical theatre girlie so takes any opportunity to sing a show tune or kick a leg. Her dream career would be to be cast in Australian survivor and get really fit on the Island. Or the the Bachelor… which she has almost got, but those auditions are confidential!
Until then, you can find her improvising most weekends in Melbourne with @thebighoohaa or on tour with various Comedy festivals.
She is currently performing with @impromptunes at ACMI till the end of Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024. Check out her page for her dates.
In her lack of spare time, Alexia enjoys hot yoga, running and most obnoxiously creative things like writing poems, painting, singing and all extroverted extra things like bottomless brunches with as many friends as possible!
