Constantly Screaming- Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Frankie McNair and Maddy Weeks are two mates with a lot of hates. Between them they have 48 years of things to scream about. This is a show with a script written entirely in CAPS LOCK.

HAVE YOU EVER SCREAMED AT A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE? HAVE YOU EVER SCREECHED AT A BUDDING FLOWER? HAVE YOU EVER CURSED LOUDLY AT THE SIGHT OF A NEWBORN BUB? IS YOUR INTERNAL SCREAM SOMETIMES LOUDER THAN YOUR IRL SCREAM? DO YOU FIND YOURSELF INTERNALLY SCREAMING WHEN MEN CALL YOU ‘darlin’? DOES YOUR BRAIN HIT THE SAME NOTE AS WHITNEY (RIP) WHEN YOU GET ASKED ‘How queer are you though? Like, 50/50?’ DOES YOUR INTERNAL MONOLOGUE SOUND LIKE THE LEAD SINGER FROM THE DARKNESS WHEN YOU WALK PAST A CHARITY MUGGER AND THEY SAY ‘hello there!’ AND YOU JUST KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE AND FEEL LIKE AN ASS BUT AT LEAST YOU DIDN’T REJECT THEM VERBALLY?
LIFE IS WEIRD AND WONDERFUL AND ALSO SOMETIMES SH!T AND CONFUSING! LET’S SCREAM ABOUT IT!

Her mum frequently asks her if she needs money.
