Gillian English's BUY THE COW Opens Soon at Melbourne Fringe
Performances run Oct 3-9, 2022.
![]()
After multiple cancellations due to pandemic delays, border closures, and one incredibly high risk pregnancy, "Buy the Cow" is finally premiering at the Melbourne Fringe!
Getting married is always a huge production. Getting married in the middle of a global pandemic is just asking for trouble!
This is a brand new hour of stand-up about getting engaged, planning a wedding, and getting married, all in the middle of lockdown.
The hens night was a complete shit show, and the stripper left his socks on the whole time. The hairstylist had a near stroke the night before the wedding. The makeup artist was convicted of fraud, and could be sentenced at any moment! The limo was held together with duct tape & prayers. The sneaky priest slipped in way more prayers than agreed upon, and the shapewear holding it all together was giving me such a wedgie it should have been sent to detention for bullying.
A positive pregnancy test on the booze-soaked honeymoon was the cherry on top!
Pandemic Weddings: dream come true, or a living nightmare?
