MQFF bring you six of Australia’s most celebrated queer comedy shorts, selected to cover all the feels. We’re talking bittersweet, romantic, awkward and downright deranged shorts filled with quality queer banter. Featuring festival favourites, an Audience Choice and Pitch, Pleeze! winner, as well as the world premiere of a DIY short by punk surrealist Kim Mills. 

Bringing the banter is award-winning comedian Anna Piper Scott – our hostess with the absolute mostess. Kicking off the laughs, Anna brings her scathing wit and comedy prowess to our Pride Month line-up.

Anna Piper Scott is a Melbourne-based writer, performer, director and producer, with over a decade of experience in the arts. She’s won awards at festivals all over Australia, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, written for the ABC and made her screen acting debut in Safe Home on SBS. Most recently, she directed Em Rusciano’s smash hit Outgrown stand up tour. When she’s not busy making shows, Anna enjoys reading books, watching horror movies and ruining dinner parties by getting political.
