MOTHER OF ALL GALAS 2010
"[Female comedians] don't actually get together very often because there
could be an oestrogen flood at any moment" Lady Julia Morris
It's
no secret that comedy is a male dominated industry. Currently only 15% of the
comedians listed on industry website ComedySoapbox.com are women. Sydney Comedy
Festival seeks to redress the balance through their Mother of all Galas, a night
celebrating all that's great about female comedy.
One of the highlights
of the Sydney Comedy Festival Program, Mother of All Galas is the ultimate girl's
night out. Moving to the hottest new Sydney Comedy Festival Venue for 2010, The
Parade Theatres at NIDA, the Mother of all Galas promises raucous laughter, girly
giggles and champagne bubbles. Tell your girlfriends, sisters and even your mum,
Mother of All Galas is the opportunity to see the female stars of the festival
all under one roof.
"[Men] might come prepared to heckle but once
they realise the calibre of the talent before them they don't" Amelia
Jane Hunter
In the past the Mother of All Galas stage has hosted some of
Australia's top female comedians including the inimitable Julia Morris, Good News
Week's Claire Hooper, Felicity Ward, Celia Paquola, Hannah Gadsby, Amelia Jane
Hunter, Jackie Loeb, Sally Kimpton and Julia Wilson as well as Canadian comedy
star DeAnne Smith.
"There's always carbs and lots of grog-scented
candles, white linen, blow jobs..." Jackie Loeb
With past Mother
of All Galas acts Hannah Gadsby, Celia Pacquola, DeAnne Smith, Amelia Jane Hunter
and Jackie Loeb appearing alongside Kitty Flanagan, Gina Yashere, Diane Spencer,
Fiona O' Loughlin, The Kransky Sisters and The Cloud Girls at the festival this
year, the Mother of All Galas 2010 line up is set to be better than ever. We will
be announcing the 2010 Mother of All Galas line up in April 2010.
