Menopaws
Hot flushes, doona wars, mood swings and way too many dogs in the bed – welcome to Menopaws! Adelaide comedian Tanya Gyzi (50, divorced, single, Aussie-Greek menopausal dog mum) takes you on a sweaty, chaotic and hilarious ride through the realities of menopause. From searching for the last cold spot in bed, to mopping muddy paw prints for the tenth time in a day, to questioning whether that wet patch is sweat, wee or the Cavoodle – nothing is off limits. Raw, relatable and laugh-out-loud funny, Menopaws is comedy for anyone who’s ever felt hot, bothered and slightly unhinged.
★★★★ "Tanya did an amazing job at capturing the crowd. She delivered a fun and clever performance that gave us all a great laugh..."
- Danielle, Rural Women's Day Pinnaroo
Parking is available at the rear of Payinthi and along side streets nearby in Olive Street and Vine Street. Enter via the foyer next to Bottega Gelateria: Grab a delicious gelato a coffee before and after the show!
Please note: This event has had a venue change from 'City of Prospect - Payinthi' to 'Ambra Spirits Distillery & Bar' since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.
Presented by: Tanya Gyzi
Comedian and producer Tanya Gyzi brings 18+ years of comedy, theatre chops, and character work to the stage—especially her spot-on Greek yiayia and hilarious mum impressions. From Aussie Greek humour to real-life chaos, Tanya’s shows have delighted audiences in multiple sell-out seasons. Life (and comedy) is never dull when you’ve had three cheeky, spoiled dogs, a rebellious pelvic floor, and enough hot flashes to fuel a small city. Bold, funny, and completely relatable, Tanya turns everyday struggles into laugh-out-loud stories.
