CANCELLED - Kelly Mac: Wrong Side of 50

Comedy • Stand-up
New South Wales • World Premiere

Sea Monkeys. Boomer parents who refuse to die. Why devon and white bread produce winners. Join ACRA-winner Kel for a hilarious romp through the decades.

Sure, middle-age has its perks, like flash rehab and dropping off sexual predators’ radar to name a few. But divorce and homelessness loom large unless this Slacker Grandma rescinds her membership to the fastest growing club in Australia: alcoholic women over 50. With the kids full-grown and rehab on speed-dial, her parenting advice can be distilled down to “never join the P & C”. Her husband is not her best friend despite considerable pressure to say otherwise.

★★★★ "Kel’s dry style of wit and her willingness to poke fun at everything...had the audience captivated" NOTA
"A fresh and honest perspective from a wise soul" The Story Chunder                                

Presented by: Top Dog Comedy

Top Dog Comedy began as a monthly club in Brisbane in February 2021. (Great timing!) It has since branched out to the NSW Mid-North Coast as well as producing shows for emerging comedians.
Kelly Mac cut her comedy chops on brekkie radio in Coffs Harbour. In her first year she was nominated for the Australian Commercial Radio Award for Best Newcomer (she lost) and Best On-air Team (she won, with a little help from her co-host).
She entered stand-up in early 2020 and performed later that year as part of the Take 3 comedy trio in digital Melbourne Fringe. In 2021 the group took the live show to Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Kel is the founder of Top Dog Comedy.
