Nadine Sparks and I have been gigging together since Yes All Women's in 2014 at Station 59. With multiple Comedy Festival shows under her belt, years of gigging and working behind the scenes at the Comedy Festival, Nadine is a Melbourne Comedy veteran. She’s been killing it! She crushed in Geelong a few weeks ago, crushed hard!
We talk about her comedy journey, varying her material from raunchy to teacher material, how she chooses what material where, the fickle nature of the comedy industry, and how to carve yourself a piece of the pie even if you aren't noticed and supported by the “comedy powers that be”. Her experience and expertise makes this conversation a must for anyone wanting to create a career in comedy in Melbourne. We discuss the shallow side of inclusion, when diversity trumps funny, and how middle-aged women can be so easily dismissed, in comedy as well as the rest of life.
We get right into it, we get passionate – you'll love it!!
