KITTY FLANAGAN
This Australian comedian gives
credit to her first production, Alice in
Wonderland, for inciting her comedy

in the classic tale and the audience
loved her performance so much that
she knew comedy was her calling.
She is a self proclaimed “attention
seeker” and as a child would always
put on shows with her two younger
siblings. Flanagan is known as one of
Australia’s funniest women, having
appeared on Full Frontal, The Project,
The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, and
Utopia. Including her observations on
Australian politics and her peculiar
confusion with burlesque shows,
Flanagan uses a broad spectrum of
topics to reach her audience. One of
her specials, Hello Kitty Flanagan, is
currently streaming on Netflix. *
