After Courtney Monsma quite literally made Phoebe Rodger’s heart skip a beat, Phoebe soon realised things weren’t exactly as they seemed!

Phoebs, You’re A Lesbian is an infectious musical comedy cabaret that charts Phoebe’s hilarious and heartfelt journey to self-discovery, backed by an irresistibly catchy original score. With witty, punchy lyrics and a comedic flair that evokes the cleverness of Tim Minchin himself (just putting it out there), this show bursts with charm and confidence.

Despite earning a jaw-dropping ATAR of 99.95 (YIKES), Phoebe chooses to follow her passion for performance, diving into a musical theatre degree and creating her own Fringe cabaret debut under the mentorship of local legend Mim Sarre. And honestly—why not? Chasing your dreams is something we should all aspire to... especially after being blown a kiss by Courtney Monsma during Wicked’s Sydney season. For the full story, you’ll just have to see the show!

Phoebs, You’re A Lesbian marks an outstanding Fringe debut from Phoebe Rodger. With sharp humour, meaningful commentary, and undeniable musical talent, this rising star is already selling out shows. So if you haven’t secured your ticket yet—and you’re not a homophobe—what are you waiting for?
