COMMA SUTRA Set for The Butterfly Club

After a smash-hit season at the Butterfly Club, Louisa Fitzhardinge brings her acclaimed solo comedy cabaret to the Melbourne Cabaret Festival.

Featuring a host of original songs ranging from audaciously pun-filled to downright saucy, Comma Sutra explores what it means to be a language nerd in an age of text speak and emoji. Improvised poetry, wickedly funny grammar lessons and rants about quotation marks are all part of Fitzhardinge's journey towards discovering why she is so smitten with the written.

With a love of language that extends beyond just English, polyglot Fitzhardinge switches effortlessly between four languages as she delves into sign language gone hilariously wrong and Germany's penchant for weird and wonderful words, culminating in a show-stopping multilingual finale.

Louisa Fitzhardinge is an award-winning actor and improviser, appearing regularly with much-loved impro comedy troupes Impromptunes and Soothplayers. She is no stranger to Melbourne stages, having appeared as comedic heroine Rosalind in the Australian Shakespeare Company's production of As You Like It and most recently in the musical Godspell with Room 8 Productions.

Comma Sutra is a comedic musical romp with heart that celebrates language and nerdiness, and is a must-see for anyone who has cringed at a sign advertising "potato's".
