COMEDY
Fran Middleton is an actor/weirdo stand-up/rule-breaker. Since starting out in theatre and improv in Perth, she’s been on the telly (The Checkout, Kiki & Kitty), and performed in festivals across the country (Golden Gibbo Award Nominee MICF 2017) evolving her abstract mix of stand-up and physical comedy to provoke the kinda laughs that blurt out of you uncontrollably.

"a force of physical comedy. She is utterly charismatic"
"offbeat and very funny."
"At every Middleton show I’ve been to, including this one, her magic seems to only entrance about 70% of the crowd. The other 30% are pretty confused, and can’t really understand why everyone else is laughing so hard."

"fabulous comediennes who follow through and hit every mark"
"Their ferocious and fierce style of joke telling, coupled with charming sincerity gives depth to their performance and makes Stockholm Syndrome seem like a real possibility."
