Loud + Queer Talks SYN Media

Naarm/Melbourne-based comedians Freddie Arthur and Michele da Costa are on the lineup of 'Crackpot Comedy' - a Queer comedy extravaganza in what they're calling "the best suburb in Melbourne": Brunswick.  They talk to Loughlin Patrick about queer identity, pushing the line with their material and bringing their personal lives on stage.

 

Freddie Arthur is a local gig pig and the MC of 'Crackpot Comedy'.  A small-town girl, originally rom Mildura, her strangest gig to date was a 3-hour spot at Inward Goods Festival at 10 o’clock in the morning.

 

Michele da Costa is a Brazilian born comedian with a new solo show 'Life Alone'. The three-time RAW Comedy Semifinalist loves dark humour, bad puns and blending political rants with dad jokes shamelessly.

 

Crackpot Comedy runs on Thursday 11 and 18 April.  Life Alone runs from Wednesday, 27 March (tomorrow!) to Sunday, 7 April.  Head to comedyfestival.com.au for tickets.

Tom Nethersole and Robert Baxter join Loughlin Patrick fresh off the release of their tracks 'Meant To Be Alone' and 'Tokyo'.  Tom says working as a wedding photographer led him to overhear a groom confess to cheating on his bride with a bridesmaid who was walking her down the aisle.  And Robert says sharing an Uber to a club went terribly wrong when their fellow passenger came seeking reparations - catching the club owner in the crossfire.  The catch?  One of them is lying.

It's up for debate in the media, but for AP Pobjoy, it's personal.  The trans director brings the stories of nine transgender high schoolers to the forefront in 'Unerased,' an online documentary series aiming to empower these young people to tell their own stories.  They sat down with Liz and Loughlin to discuss how the series came about and how the mammoth project came together behind the scenes.

 

Keep up with the series @minus18youth on TikTok and Instagram.
