Ellen Briggs & Mandy Nolan

TWO HEADLINER HIGH PROFILE COMEDIANS FOR ONLY $50 PER PERSON

Central West Comedy is partnering with The Central West Women's Health Centre to Celebrate International Women's Day with a special Comedy Evening

Mandy Nolan is a funny woman.

A stand up comedian for well over 28 years, audiences adore Mandy on stage, and around Byron Bay where she lives, Mandy-jokes are as much a part of the vernacular as any surf speak.

Her humour is sharp, honest, sometimes self-depreciating, somewhat outrageous, but never cruel or pretentious. Frequently irreverent, it speaks to a diverse audience with no set demographic, no gender, race or religion, occupation or tribe.

Mandy’s stand-up is known and loved for its rapid fire  philandering and esoteric observations that emerge from the musings of what she describes as ‘a woman whose dilemma it is to navigate the new frontiers in the suburban badlands of human relationships and traverse that darkly hypocritical abyss that exists between action and belief.’

Ellen Briggs is an author, comedy writer, and professional MC but where she is most at home is on the stage doing stand up comedy. She is funny. Properly funny.

Ellen regularly performs as a comedian and MC at venues all over Australia, and has created a stand up comedy show called Women Like Us with fellow comedian Mandy Nolan that they tour all over Australia to packed houses and rave reviews. They set out to take a high quality stand up show into regional areas for audiences who often don’t get any entertainment, and ten years later and over 350 shows down, the show is more in demand than they ever imagined. In 2018 they released their co-authored book,” Women Like Us” which needed a reprint in the first week! They also have a hugely popular podcast of the same name. 

She is also a writer on the hit TV Show “Kinne” starring Troy Kinne which is now in its third season of production. She is a popular and regular guest on ABC NSW’s political satire show Thank God It’s Friday, and her quick wit and relatable personality landed her a weekly spot as guest comedian on Triple M Radio on the Gold Coast, as well as often sitting in as co-host for their popular breakfast and drive time shows.
