In 2008 Kathryn Bendall shared the stage with comedy award winners Amelia Jane Hunter and Hannah Gadsby in their gong laden show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival “Meat the Musical”.
Setting the pace as the first and most bitter, bungling and bewitching Meat Inspector who gets”boned” in the fridge, Kathryn set the bar high for all the following “Guest” meat inspectors including Adam Hills, Lawrence Mooney, Bev Killick, Geraldine Quinn all of whom have their own shows at this years Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Would you vote for this woman?

Just more evidence that Catholics have been in Politics long before Tony Abbott made his lunge.

I would never have thought some months ago that I would be preparing for my first show for the Adelaide Fringe.It’s crazy and exciting. At the behest of my dear friend Amelia Jane Hunter who was frankly just sick of me harping on about getting a part in one of her shows, I took the plunge and here we are.
With just 56 days to go to my first show I’m in countdown mode. Not the Molly Meldrum sort but the “what was I thinking” mode. I’m looking forward to all the new “stretches” something like this provides (at last a new weight loss technique), but I am very excited about the decision to put myself in the hands of an experienced powerhouse of a Director, Rebecca De Unamuno.
I’ve really enjoyed the writing for the show and its been an extraordinary opportunity to delve back into some of the well worn stories I have often re-told to long suffering friends and somewhat cruelly, family and work colleagues.
Also looking forward to catching up with some good friends in Adelaide, the last time I was there was 30 years ago. I think its safe to go back there now.
Talk soon xxxxxxxxx
