German-born-NYC-raised comedian and voice of the iconic character Mercy in the video game Overwatch brings her newest hour to Adelaide for the first time ever! Weaving stand up with storytelling and a pinch of character comedy, this quasi philosophical hour takes you on a wild ride through weird therapy, frozen eggs, dead friends, Colombians, fake fame and wishing to grow old as mold.
She voices the iconic video game character Mercy on the hit game Overwatch as well as characters on World of Warcraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, Gotham Knights, Starfire, Nickelodeon’s The Loud House and Megamind Rules! On camera she can be seen in Hulu’s Welcome to Chippendales, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the cult British TV show Red Dwarf and more.

THE SHOW!

At long last, I’m unveiling my meticulously researched, scientifically flawless, and definitely-not-panic-induced prediction for how the world will end. If you disagree, congratulations – you’re part of the problem. Enjoy your echo chamber while the rest of us prepare for the grand finale.

Join me as I break down the political incompetence, corporate buffoonery, and garden-variety stupidity that will bring civilisation to a face-planting halt. It’s satire, it’s prophecy, and it’s disturbingly plausible.
