In this episode, I sit with Comedian, Quiz Host and Corporate Trainer, Courtney Maldo (she/her), otherwise self-described as Perth’s Punk Princess of Comedy.
We recorded this episode during Melbourne International Comedy Festival, IRL, from Naarm, which was a real treat!
We discuss Courtney’s next solo show Gender, Drugs and Rock and Roll, Courtney’s exploration of herself before coming out, feelings of isolation in growing up in a rural area, how much can change generation to generation, theatre in highschool leading to Courtney’s first fan mail, how being alive is just a phase, what “passing” means and how that is different for every trans and gender non-conforming person and that things get better: rocky starts happen but the journey is yours.
