Lots of laughs at 40+Fabulous show
AFTER sell-out shows across Western Australia, Melbourne and Brisbane, rising comedy star Emma Krause is headed to Far North Queensland with her critically acclaimed show 40+Fabulous – and local audiences are in for a treat.
The former schoolteacher-turned-comedian will perform in Cairns on July 4, Atherton on July 5, and Port Douglas on July 6, as part of a broader regional Queensland tour that spans from Ingham to Noosa.
Described as “part stand-up, part therapy,” 40+Fabulous is a funny, fierce and unexpectedly moving celebration of womanhood, midlife chaos and shedding the pressure to be perfect.
The show has earned rave reviews and a string of major accolades, including best comedy at Fringe World Perth and best solo performer at Broadway Perth.
“I still feel more like a mum with a mic than a polished comedian,” Ms Krause said.
"But that’s kind of the point – I talk about guilt, identity, motherhood and the ridiculous pressure to be everything to everyone. It’s honest, it’s a bit messy and it’s been connecting with people in the most unexpected ways.”
A late bloomer in the comedy world, she stepped onto the stage for the first time after turning 40 and hasn’t looked back.
Since then, she’s featured on Australia’s Got Talent, become the face of Oz Lotto in WA, and toured nationally with comedy trio The Motherhood before launching her own sold-out solo show.
40+Fabulous will be at the Edge Hill Tavern on Thursday, July 4, Atherton Hotel on Friday, July 5 and the Clink Theatre (Port Douglas on Saturday July 6).
