Stand up comedians Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs join forces in Women Like Us to deliver two hours of rapid fire, sharp, honest, sometimes self deprecating, somewhat irreverent stand up comedy for audiences who love their humour straight from the lip.
Coming from Mullumbimby in Northern NSW - their life experiences seem to parallel the audiences that they talk to - 'we're not young inner city groovers. We're 40 something mothers of teenagers, we're wives, and ex wives! Ellen can wrangle a snake and operate a ride on mower in the afternoon, and by evening she dons heels and a frock and she's MCing a charity ball. We're small town showgirls. And boy do we have fun on stage!'
With seven children between them, parenting and their own reoccurring instances that they call 'failure to parent' are certainly the focus of some of their material, but then so is the beauty industry, getting older, getting fatter, strange surgeries, weird TV shows, obsessions, frustrations, and at the end of the day, who unpacks the flipping dishwasher
The two friends have teamed up to bring two hours of stand up to communities they believe would love a dose of Women Like Us. 'We're not rarefied trophy wives' says Nolan. 'We are the kind of women who know how to put up our own shelves! We just don’t dust them.’
Women Like Us has been selling out everywhere they go, and they recently received a 4/5 Star Review for the show in Adelaide, so this is one show you don’t want to miss out on this year!
