Melbourne Comedy Fest 2013 Features LAY-LAH WAZIR: A NIGHTMARE ON HIGH STREET, April 3-April 20

Following the success of Pyramids & Pimm's at the 2012 Comedy Festival, character comedienne Yvonne Malik returns to the stage, as the belly dancing Bo-gyptian, Lay-lah Wazir.

Loudmouth Lay-lah from Lalor has a 'PhB' in belly dance and is always ready to show off her moves to anyone who asks - and everyone else as well.

When she uproots her family in search of the 'Great Australian Dream' at Lalor Fortress Heights (a shiny new housing estate in Melbourne's outer north), she realises the fairytale she was sold is much more akin to a nightmare, despite having acquired all the necessities: a McMansion, hummer and several sixty inch plasmas.

Directed by Russell Fletcher, Yvonne will have you in stitches as this deluded, larger than life character. Using her original blend of cultural comedy and satire, she pokes fun at modern day excesses and the notion of 'the perfect life' on outer suburban housing estates. Be warned, this show may also include Lay-lah's artistically challenged belly dance routines!

Yvonne Malik is an Arabic female comedienne from the northern suburbs of Melbourne, performing at comedy venues as the one and only housing estate princess, much to the delight of her audiences.

This is a clean show suitable for all ages and is part of the Comedy on Collins clean comedy program - providing entertainment accessible to all.
