THEATRE TRAVELS - Adelaide Fringe 2023

Sharpe is a billed as a comedian but is really a gifted story-teller who can garner empathy right alongside the laughter. That her writing is based on personal reality makes it all the more poignant, significant, and effective. Unapologetically frank and close to the bone but the genius of the writing keeps the laughs coming. Anecdote or witty, sharp one-liner, this woman can deliver.

ABOUT LISA SHARPE

"The respect she earns from her audience is proof enough that she is a gifted comedian and a captivating raconteur" Theatre Haus 2022

I love being a comedian. I get to meet so many wonderful, weird and interesting people, and hopefully make them laugh. People often tell me my comedic style is like listening to a mate tell a funny story with very unexpected twists and turns. Story telling is my thing and it's usually about me and those I love the most. Although I still love doing stand-up comedy, I am leaning more into a 'Comedy Narrative' style which I am enjoying sharing with my audiences.
