Author: Newstalk ZB June 28, 2024 Duration: 13:02

Frankie McNair is an up-and-coming Australian comedian who won best comedy award at Melbourne Fringe 2018 and best newcomer and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2022.  

Her critically acclaimed one-woman show, ‘An Intimate Evening with Tabitha Booth’ is coming to Q Theatre – starting tomorrow evening – and runs until July 6th.  

She plays ‘medicated lounge singer’, Tabitha Booth in an intimate evening of unhinged comedy. 

McNair joined Tim Beveridge on Newstalk ZB’s Holiday Breakfast. 

“I won one of the biggest awards in Melbourne and I started panicking – thinking, I don’t know how to follow this up!” 

McNair describes her 50s, Munroe era character: “I do go for that Trans-Atlantic, old-school Hollywood accent.”
