Call Girls

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Comedy
Queensland • SA Premiere

RING RING ADELAIDE! The phone lines are open!! Jump the queue and join hilariously dysfunctional besties, Ella and Alexis, on the call centre front lines. 

This odd couple are hell-bent on having a good time from 9 to 5. They won’t let dumbass customers kill their vibe! Call them lazy, incompetent, even unqualified. Just DO NOT call them after 5. 

Hot off a smash Brisbane Fringe run, the Call Girls are ready to phone it in and have some fun.
But this time, it’s not just customers on the line. It’s everything.

“Full of fast paced dialogue, relatable content and clever interactions” Theatre Travels

“Biting and incredibly charismatic. This show has the potential to soar across global fringe festivals” TheatreHaus

Presented by: Lauren Harvey & Kelly Hodge

Lauren Harvey and Kelly Hodge met while studying at QUT, one of Australia's foremost acting institutions. While there they connected over their shared trauma of years working in call centres. As they swapped tales and laughed non-stop, the pair realised they had to tell this story. So, screaming and (laugh) crying, the Call Girls were born.
