Geraldine Quinn - MDMA: Modern Day Maiden Aunt

Geraldine Quinn:
MDMA
Modern Day Maiden Aunt

The novelist Jane Austen never married, but had 23 nieces and nephews. She wrote some of the greatest novels in the English language. Geraldine Quinn (Adam Hills Tonight, Spicks & Specks) has 19 nieces and nephews. She draws cock’n’balls, writes songs about Bowie - and has wiped many bottoms.

MDMA: Modern Day Maiden Aunt is the latest original production from Melbourne International Comedy Festival Golden Gibbo Award winner Geraldine Quinn (Best Local Independent Production 2011).

Do you have to have kids? What’s so wrong with being solely an aunt or uncle? Most importantly: will any of her nieces or nephews purchase a ticket? She doesn’t have any good stuff to leave them in her will yet.

Don’t miss this glittering celebration of modern aunthood, not breeding and the fine art of embarrassing other people’s children from a two-time New Zealand Fringe nominee (Best Music and Standout Performer, 2014).

Directed by Justin Hamilton.

Frank and funny...the ideal show for anyone who’s had to babysit hung-over.
**** The Age (2014, AU)

An outstanding performance from a comedic siren.
Theatre Review (2014, NZ)

Arguably Australia’s best comedienne/rock devotee [...] hugely entertaining
***** Daily Review (2014, AU)
