HarleQueen

Comedy • Theatre

New Zealand • Australian Premiere

A vaudevillian-style, one-woman celebration of female fools. Also, Abby may juggle (unconfirmed). Using a variety of comedy styles HarleQueen takes the audience on a journey through the history of female comedians; it's storytelling, history, and hilarity with honesty and heart.

Join the HarleQueen in celebrating the women who blazed a trail for their sisters in comedy!
