Measured Silk & Other Stories


 Measured Silk & Other Stories is a collection of fourteen linked stories.

The collection is a meditation on loneliness. 

Settings, characters and objects appear and reappear.

I'm super proud of the book.. and what some of my favourite authors have said about the work.

You can order a copy HERE.

Brene Brown of Brunswick


Hope and purpose are muscles 
Go work them out

Shame
Self loathing 
Abandonment 


Need hope and purpose 
To be in better shape than them

Patterns help 
So seek them out 


Be kind to yourself 

Exercise
Good diet
Sleep
& people who are constant 

Awe and wonder in nature 
Go seek them out

Mistress of Mirth's COMEDY Tour

 






LAUNCHING 9 APRIL 2022
AT ATHENAEUM LIBRARY MELBOURNE 

MEDIA RELEASE HERE 

It's a bit of a joke how tricky it can be to navigate the live amateur stand-up comedy scene in Melbourne, so I created a C.O.M.E.D.Y Tour which begins in Bourke Mall and ends with a polemic of a punchline.

 

I'm a Mistress of Mirth having written, performed, researched and taught stand-up comedy for many years and together with millions of other women across the globe we have enacted a mirthful mutiny taking on the unwieldy and historically or is it hysterically? male dominated world of stand-up comedy.

 

Woven with comedy fun facts and darkly funny short stories The C.O.M.E.D.Y Tour, like all good jokes is concise, clever and takes you somewhere completely unexpected.


C.O.M.E.D.Y is an acronym for Call Out Male Entitlement Daily Y'all
