Ever worn one outfit for so long that it begins to form layers of sweat, counting the days like rings on a tree? That’s what happened to fat, queer, anxiety riddled, musical loving comedian Chelsea Heaney when she lost her luggage on Contiki.
If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry, so why not do both!?
Chelsea Heaney is a comedian on the rise. Her signature charmingly awkward humour keeps audiences in stitches. A twice RAW Comedy State Finalist (VIC 2024, ACT 2023), Chelsea’s debut cabaret Historians Call Us Roommates sold out at the 2024 Midsumma Carnival. After receiving rave reviews at Perth Fringe World, Chelsea is excited to bring Big Pants to home to Melbourne!
