Sorry, My Mum Won't Let Me

Korinna dives into the chaos of a bizarre, hyper-controlling upbringing — where socialising was forbidden and chanting “Ricky Martin” was compulsory.

With wit and raw honesty, she unpacks her ex-hot-girl past, messy relationships, a queer awakening, and the lifelong quest for self-worth.

A love letter to anyone who’s ever felt judged, othered or controlled  — and fought to define themselves anyway. A show that’s as liberating as it is hilarious.

A rising force in Sydney’s comedy scene, Korinna brings electric energy and bold honesty to the stage, blending stand-up with storytelling. 



Part confession. Part chaos. All comedy... just don’t tell her mum.

"Unique, hilarious, and thought-provoking" - The Greek Herald
