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 is a Queer, female comedian originally from Mildura. Her comedy has been likened to Sam Campbell and Maria Bamford. She is known for mixing “cheery positivity with slightly unsettling subject material” (Hugging Comedians). Freddie is the 2025 RAW Comedy State Finalist for Victoria. 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’
