ULU McCLATCHY is an actress, writer, singer and comedian. L Known around the globe for her larger than life alter ego ‘SuperGirly’, Lulu considers this character the one that gave her the big break on to the international stage. Lulu first started making her mark in the UK by writing and performing her SuperGirly live show taking the Edinburgh Festival by storm before embarking on a string of UK tours including a stint in the West End where she sold out night after night.

She was invited to perform at the Just for Laughs festival Gala in Montreal in July 2001 alongside Megan Mullally (‘Karen’ from Will and Grace). Lulu was also personally requested to support Sir Elton John on the Australian leg of his 2002 World Tour.

After a string of TV shows in the UK, including her own BBC sitcom, Lulu decided to return to Australia to try and conquer her home turf. She landed a memorable role as the wrestling love interest of Toadie, (Genevieve ‘Eva’ Doyle on Neighbours). Then went on to guest star in numerous shows including Blue Heelers and Spicks and Specks. She broke into the international film industry when she played the light-hearted role of ‘Bonnie’ in Fox studios’ Aquamarine. and then went on to co-star in the Australian ABC TV movie Valentine’s Day, playing the footy loving, drum playing ‘Barassi’.

Her most memorable role to date is playing the politically incorrect ‘Cassandra Downie’ in the SBS comedy musical Bogan Pride, a role she considers one of her all time favourites.

Featuring new material written by Lulu, SuperGirly: Return of the Pop Princess marks SuperGirly’s debut theatre season in Australia. The two-act, two-hour all-out assault on the world of pop music is guaranteed to do what she does best - keep people laughing.
