Fed up of people putting you in boxes? When she was young Joann Condon (Little Britain) was written-off, body-shamed, looked down on for being working-class, and seen as only fit for the dullest desk job. Partly thanks to an 80s pop icon she learned to defy expectations, building a screen and stage career as a comedian and actor.

Joann’s cathartic, funny and touching award-winning solo show 'Little Boxes' is about breaking free, discovering your true worth, living life to the full – and a deep love of tea. Little Boxes has delighted audiences and attracted critical praise in the UK and Adelaide, and is back in 2026 after sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe.

Please note: The sessions on March 8 at HAT's Courthouse Cultural Centre, March 10 at The Waikerie Bond Store, and March 12 at Ballara Art & Lifestyle Retreat will each be followed by a Q&A.
