Funny Farm
PERFORMER BIOGRAPHIES
 

The details of other performers will be available shortly.

ANDREW BRENNAN
Andrew negotiates gay male sensibilities like a delicate angel… A delicate angel wielding a big bloody battle-axe. With typical Sagittarius charm (and no sense of tact or decorum) this queen shrieks and squeals about the world around him like a hysterical twink in the final death throws. In addition to writing, performing and referring to everyone as SHE, Andrew is also the Funny Farm webmaster web-mistress. Yeap very important :-P! Email for further info...

DAN BROWN
The wayward son of a drug addict turned preacher, Dan has had more life thrown at him than an over-sold bingo hall. His diverse and extreme experiences have made him a brutal truth-teller, his topics ranging from the sacred to the satanic. Dark, intelligent and surreal, he is developing a style that is intense yet playful, demonstrating that sacred cows indeed make the tastiest hamburgers. Click here for more info...

JODY EKERT
Jody Ekert is a white trash lesbian from Brisbane. She works a variety of crap jobs while chasing the 'comedy dream'. Previous attempts at entering the workforce have seen her working everywhere from the USA as a Camp Counselor at 'Fat Camp', to Night Management of a hostel in Kings Cross, Sex Chat Operator, and even a stint as a Cruise Ship Videographer in Alaska. It's all gold as far as writing new material goes. She's obsessed with study and with a BA, BSc and two Certificates not enough; she's enrolled in a Masters, just for kicks.

MRS GALSTEIN
Mrs Galstein is a proud Yiddish booba (grandmother) who has a very bent way with words. She pops up in the queerest of places (including Mardi Gras, Midsumma, Australian Gay Multicultural Conference, South Coast Women’s Music Festival and Sistajive Women’s Music Festival). Mrs Galstein is channelled by bilingual writer, performer and activist, Hinde Ena Burstin. Photo courtesy of Michael Barnett.

KITTY MINGE
Kitty Minge is a bit of a rough diamond. Some say she's just rough. Born in the East End of London under the sound of Bow Bells 30-something years ago, the omnisexual trollop was destined for an extraordinary life. From stripper and street hooker to dominatrix in a high-class bordello, from Gay Pride marches in heels to being chased by riot police in animal rights demos, Kitty's crossed paths with all sorts of colourful characters in a series of eyebrow-raising and toe-curling adventures. She is currently on the run from the UK where she is wanted by the Department of Hygiene for selling second-hand sex toys. Click here for more info...

ADRIENNE MOXHAM
Often spotted pacing up and down before a comedy show, scribbling notes in her exercise book or tearing beer coasters into tiny little pieces, Adrienne is considered one of Sydney's more neurotic and entertaining comedians.
Appearing @ comedy venues such as Sydney's Comedy Store, @ Newtown, Pear Shaped Comedy Club, Katoomba's Clarendon Hotel, Comedy @ The Bridge, Mic In Hand and the legendary Harold Park Hotel, Adrienne's disturbed style of comedy has left audiences in tears of laughter. Click here for more info...

LYNNIE O
Lynnie O has been described as a “seasoned pro”… her response “I’m not sure I like that, it makes me sound like an old hooker dusted in some herbs and spices?”………
One thing for sure is that Lynnie O is a very funny lady. Her humour is honest and raw and so very bent, all of which has made her hugely popular with Madi Gras, Feast and Midsummer queer audiences.
If you love a bit of storytelling and seek the humour in the absurdity of life’s little details, you will love this gal. Politics, partying, families, religion…messy teenage dabbling in strange yet humorous scenarios…they're all here, bought to us with a gratifying mix of wisdom, wit and (other) worldliness! Theatrics are engaged by this mistress of mayhem…Lynnie is always a visual feast and she loves nothing more than to entertain.
