  • The Pole Shebang
  • Tickets to Sydney Fringe: Sept 22-26
  • Tickets to Melbourne: Oct 7-11

  • I got banned on Reddit from the Sydney sub, but he I got banned on Reddit from the Sydney sub, but here I am blowing up in the Melbourne sub!

Reddit is such a weird & wonderful place, where in one space they are fiercely protective against sharing ticket links, and in another space I can find a million nudes from dudes selling a threesome with their Asian gf. 

This post was just a nice chat about Melbourne Fringe show recommendations - because I genuinely find it so hard to choose what shows to see, and I also shared some cute random photos in the comments… but I’m pretty sure this post actually took off because the first comment was from a lady who said “I’ve got three toddlers, ain’t nobody got time for all that”

And then Reddit took it from there.

So if you’re looking for a Melbourne Fringe show, come see The Pole Shebang - it’s on this week only, so you gotta get your tix now!

What are you seeing this week?
    Fringe Festivals are not for the faint hearted! Fringe Festivals are not for the faint hearted! 

You have to back yourself so hard to keep promoting, and you have to really believe you’ve created something worth inviting people to. 

It’s hard to cut through the noise, and it often feels like a game of chicken, but it’s opening night tonight and my ticket sales have doubled since yesterday! I’m so excited to share The Pole Shebang with you.

Also one of my Flexy Strong students happens to be in Melbourne & saw my poster on Lygon Street yesterday just before a tweaker ripped it down & threw me in the bin… but it was up long enough for her to get tickets! And at least he didn’t litter :)

🚨 HURRY! OPENING THIS WEDNESDAY! 🚨
    This one time at band camp… Is a phrase that’s fo This one time at band camp…

Is a phrase that’s followed me since American Pie because I did literally go to music camp from about age 11-20…

But nothing compares to the stories from my adventures in pole dancing!

Come see how many of these stories they let me squeeze into a one hour show at THE POLE SHEBANG - opening this Wednesday for five nights only:

    I AM JANE DOE Last night I stayed up til 2am watch I AM JANE DOE
Last night I stayed up til 2am watching Promising Young Woman. Even though I should be resting & prepping for The Pole Shebang. But I couldn’t sleep.

I hear a lot of people say they don’t like the way that movie ended. But realistically how else would you have a movie like that end?

Women aren’t even seeking revenge. They just want justice. How f*cked is it that the fairy tale ending is literally just that the r*pist gets arrested. 

I’ve started seeing posts from men who want to dox Jane Doe in retaliation for outing the Cornell 7 because they want revenge, whereas women just want safety. 

So if you’ve seen a flood of people saying “I am Jane Doe” - it’s to protect women from being singled out. Because there were 57 of them, but there’s 4 billion of us. 

I am Jane Doe.
    Why was I late to Melbourne Fringe Opening Night G Why was I late to Melbourne Fringe Opening Night Gala? WRONG ANSWERS ONLY

And then come see The Pole Shebang at Trades Hall, Oct 7-11, 9:45pm (8:45 Sun) - get your tix asap!
