“Awkwardly funny and sure to delight.” - The Brag
Returning to the New Zealand stage for the first time in eight years, award-winning performer and playwright Bridie Connell takes to the stage in her character comedy Natural Habitat.

In her one-woman family reunion, Connell pairs her larger-than-life characters - from washed up Country and Western star Uncle Raymond, to 90 year-old battle-axe Doris – with her trademark warmth and eye for human emotion, making Natural Habitat at once funny, awkward, and often moving. A show about family, belonging, and finding where you fit, any audience can relate … although there will be cringe inducing times they’ll wish they couldn’t!
… Oh, and it’s a musical.

An official selection of the 2015 Sydney Fringe Comedy program, Natural Habitat is written and performed by one of Australia’s most exciting emerging (and adopted!) talents. A veteran of Project 52 (Time Out Sydney’s Best Comedy Room Winner 2010), Impro Australia and a National Theatresports Champion, Bridie pairs larger than life comic characters with an unfailing eye for human emotion. Her previous, award-winning play Ebony Tears was a sad but funny look at the consequences of drink-driving and was performed around New Zealand to over 25,000 high school students.
