Jacinta Gregory Comes to Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Jacinta Gregory is a musical comedian who is obsessed with all things 80s - Cyndi Lauper, Dirty Dancing, The Berlin wall: Join her, and a live band, for an hour of synth-filled songs about love, bisexuality, mental illness and John Hughes.

Western Sydney born Jacinta Gregory has made a name for herself in creating musical comedy that presents a refreshing take on coping with mental illness. Emerging from a hugely popular run in the Sydney Fringe festival, this show is an autobiographical, completely original journey through the mind of a person trapped in the more colourful elements of the 1980s. With a live band, a huge stage, and a fresh take on some well-known classic numbers, she presents a cathartic take on the current world we live in.
