Freddie used to think she had a normal family. Now she’s letting all the skeletons (& herself) out of the closet. Come meet Mum/Terri, the homophobic closeted lesbian; Dad/Wayne, the violent hopeless romantic; and Cousin Mike, the public masturbator. Through dark comedy and the weirdest all-original tracklist you’ve ever heard, Freddie will expose her family’s deepest secrets. Songs include ‘Smacking My Kids’ and ‘I Know I’m A Good Mother Because My Children Aren’t Gay.’ If you’ve ever wanted to feel better about your own relations, come meet Freddie’s Dysfunctional Family Jukebox.

Freddie’s comedy has been described as mixing “cheery positivity with slightly unsettling subject material” (Hugging Comedians). She is a 2025 Adelaide Fringe Fund Recipient, performed on the Gala show at the 2024 Bendigo Comedy Festival and has featured in line-ups in London and Edinburgh. Dysfunctional Family Jukebox is directed by award-winning director, Marcel Blanch-De Wilt.

‘A quietly unhinged onstage presence, so keen to see what Freddie does next’ – Scout Boxall
