My new show ‘The Drummer’
MELBOURNE FRINGE FESTIVAL
Sept 29-Oct 3
A solo theatre piece about the slow creep of climate collapse and the people who feel it first, featuring actor Doug Lyons (Netflix's Rostered On), with a moody and beautiful live score from marumaru.
hi, i’m rose.
I’m a long-time Melbourne stand-up who co-founded the iconic lineup show The Breast Of The Fest. I was a RAW Comedy national finalist in 2019 and was the host of and writer for The Leak on Channel 31, and I started performing solo comedy hours in 2023 with Feral directed by Claire Hooper. I toured my third hour of comedy, Clap If You're Mad At Me, at Perth Fringe World, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Perth Comedy Festival in 2025, and will be returning to MICF in 2026 with a new (funny) play.
