Q&A : Roz Pappalardo, All Fired Up: An ‘80s Mixtape Musical
All Fired Up written Roz Pappalardo and dear friend Rachel Terry, who is also in the show with her 16 year old daughter Scarlett Terry, was written to help women find those pieces of themselves that can be easily lost during the journey of our lives. Terry and Pappalardo wanted to create a show that was cathartic, funny, part rock concert, part dance class, part comedy theatre. Since its debut, they have toured every corner of Australia, sold out shows in major festivals like Brisbane Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival, nominated for Best Independent Show and Best Cabaret at the Matilda Awards (Australian Theatre Awards) and we won Best Theatre Show at the 2023 Adelaide Fringe Festival.
Q&A : Rebecca-Maree & Friends, Crowd Work Special
I’ve always worked behind the scenes in comedy for a while now but it wasn’t until I got fired from a news producing job that I decided to use that negativity into something positive. It was once I did my first gig and heard people laugh back at me that I thought I could do this for a living. It was a great feeling!
