Snooze VR - A Chronic Fatigue Cabaret

Cabaret • Comedy
Australia • SA Premiere

This life-affirming comedy takes us through the experience of getting sick, steadfastly ignoring that fact, cycling through an endless flip-show of doctors for answers, and dealing with the grief and acceptance of a chronic illness diagnosis. Our comfy VR cinema immerses you into the baffling world of invisible illness and showcases all those moments when you say you "just got to laugh."

Sarah McInnes is a musical theatre performer, turned physio, turned work-from-home cabaret writer and performer. She is a proud "spoonie" (chronic illness warrior) and invisible illness advocate with ME/CFS, POTS, spondyloarthritis and endometriosis. Humour and a pen are her weapons of choice and ableist societal norms are what she hacks away at mercilessly.

"Audience favourite" - The Theatre Room

Presented by: Tayla Farlie

Tayla's passion for the arts began in her hometown of Mildura, where she got involved in community theatre. After moving to Adelaide for her studies, she pursued her dream of becoming a producer in the Cabaret/Fringe scene and loving it so far. She met Sarah during a bootcamp, and despite never meeting in person, they became creative partners.

Sarah, based in Melbourne, is a comedian, writer, and musical theatre performer. Despite dealing with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), she creates and performs from her bed or couch. Her 2016 show, "Sarah Has Friends...no, really! I do!" was even featured in The Age as a standout event. Tayla and Sarah share a unique friendship that bridges the physical distance between them.
