Kitty Flanagan - Charming & Alarming

It's been a long time coming but Kitty Flanagan is finally heading to Geelong, to launch herself on a largely unsuspecting audience with the show Charming & Alarming. For one night only at GPAC she will showcase a definitive collection of her best standup along with some special extras as well...just like a DVD only in real life!

Charming & Alarming
promises to be a fast paced evening of cracking stories, skillful characterisations, hard laughs and a little bit of musical spectacle from a secret special guest...who, as it happens, is neither secret nor special. In fact, it's just her sister Penny who works cheap and will provide a bit of atmos and guitar-noodling at various points throughout the show.

Kitty describes her comedy as: "A little bit oowah" Which is to say people often laugh then say: "Oowah, did she really say that?"

The Edinburgh Evening News summed it up as: "Cruel, vicious, charming and innocent."

Her mother describes it as: "Not really my cup of tea but all the girls at the golf club seem to like it so what do I know?"

'..without doubt - Australia's hottest female comedian right now.' - The West Australian

'..those watching were in raptures as Flanagan told one side-splitting anecdote after another' - The Adelaide Advertiser

'Some of the funniest, traditional, freeform standup comes from visiting Australian Kitty Flanagan' - The Observer (UK)

'Flanagan has a keen sense of the ridiculous and her perky, offbeat anecdotes are seasoned with smart aides and acute observations that prove remarkably captivating' - Chortle UK
