Georgie Carroll Biography Born and raised in Manchester, England; now a proud Australian. Georgie Carroll is a Comedian, Nurse, Wife and Mother. This combination of Nationalities, home life and hospital has provided a 24/7 training ground that has nurtured Georgie’s naturally funny bones. Her bluntness and charm coupled with razor-sharp wit, give her a broad-spectrum appeal that can be put into any room, with any line-up, and shine. Georgie took out ‘Most Prolific Writer’, ‘People’s Choice’ and ‘Comedian of the Year’ in Adelaide Comedy Awards. Her debut festival hour ‘Nurse Case Scenario’ was nominated for ‘Best Emerging Comedy’ at Adelaide Fringe and ‘Best Comedy’ at Perth Fringe World. Her follow up show ‘Gauze and Affect’ is undoubtedly Georgie’s strongest hour to date. Collectively the shows have sold out internationally, with ‘Gauze and Affect’ breaking record attendance numbers for her venue at Gluttony (Adelaide Fringe 2017). Georgie has been blowing the roof off the Australian Comedy Club circuit since 2012, fine tuning her talent to become the world class comic, MC and writer she now is. Georgie has now embarked on a TV career, starting at the very top as a regular panellist on Channel 10s “Have You Been Paying Attention?” With 18 years of Emergency and Intensive Care Nursing under her belt, Georgie continues to Nurse when not on tour. This along with her exceptional comedic talent has cemented her as the go-to entertainment for Medical and Nursing Corporates, Conventions and Award Ceremonies. *Disclaimer* Georgie did not write this. She is bloody good, but you don’t want to brag about yourself too much.

Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival
Australian Services Union SA + NT Branch The ASU campaigns for fairness and equality in our workplaces, communities + globally Join the union for social justice activists 08 8363 1322 Foreword Together with our sponsors, the Don Dunstan Foundation is proud to present the 2019 Social Change Guide to the Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival. This Guide is our biggest yet with 181 shows featuring a diverse display of culture of which Don Dunstan would have been proud. Don was not only Premier of South Australia during the 1970s, but was also a trained actor. A strong supporter of the Arts throughout his lifetime, he was a patron of the Fringe and narrated Carnival of the Animals in the 1974 Festival of Arts. The Dunstan Decade saw South Australia lead the nation in progressive social reforms, and laid the foundation for Adelaide’s transformation into ‘the Festival State’. The Adelaide Festival was at the forefront of this transformation; since its launch in 1960 they have been showcasing diverse shows from all around the world. In 1974 the Fringe released its first Souvenir Programme, beginning its evolution into what is now the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, both go from strength to strength. The Arts bring us together, and help to create and celebrate our diversity. When we offer access to art in all its forms, we improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Through the Arts we have a chance to see the world from a new perspective, and at its best, art can inspire us to take action for a fairer world.

Gez’ deceptively effortless knack for turning low-key yarns about agapanthuses and bouncy-castles into high-stakes, helplessly funny narrative rollercoasters has culminated in her Most Outstanding Show award at the 2021 Melbourne Comedy Festival for What A Surprise. Since 2016 Geraldine has also been a co-host on the much-revered breakfast radio show Breakfasters on RRR, and has made multiple appearances on ABC, Triple M and the Hit Network. A firm favourite of and in the Australian comedy scene, Gez’ 2019 show Things Are Going Well also received a nomination for the Melbourne Comedy Festival Award for most outstanding show, while she also took home the coveted comedians’ choice Piece of Wood Award. Things Are Going Well is available as a podcast special on your ABC: you can listen here. Geraldine has appeared on The Project, Tonightly with Tom Ballard, Have You Been Paying Attention? and Hughesy, We Have a Problem.

A Simple Space by Gravity & Other Myths
A Simple Space By Gravity & Other Myths MARKETING PACK Seven acrobats thumb their noses at the rules of gravity. AGENT CONTACTS Europe, UK, Canada & South America: United States: Wolfgang Hoffman | Aurora Nova James Weiner | Boat Rocker Entertainment [email protected] [email protected] CONTENTS ABOUT THE SHOW & COMPANY PAGE 3 REVIEW EXCERPTS PAGE 3 AWARDS PAGE 3 MARKETING INFORMATION & ACKNOWLEDGMENT PAGE 4 REQUIREMENTS TOURING HISTORY PAGE 8 WORKSHOP/COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES PAGE 9 FULL LENGTH REVIEWS PAGE 11 EXAMPLE COLLATERAL PAGE 15 KEY CONTACT | MARKETING, TECHNICAL AND PRODUCTION Belinda Murphy [email protected] tel: +49 30 284 457 728 2 ABOUT THE SHOW Simultaneously raw, frantic and delicate, seven skilled acrobats push their physical limits without reserve. Supported by driving percussion, immersed in every moment, A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, visceral rather than cerebral. There’s no fine-tuning of performances with make-up, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay. Sitting close to a stripped back stage, the audience feel the heat, see the sweat and hear every breath. Armed with nothing more than brute strength and cat-like agility these acrobats break down their usual guards, introducing the reality of possible failure and weakness. With nothing left to hide behind, personal narratives shine through. This honesty is the essence of A Simple Space. ABOUT THE COMPANY Gravity & Other Myths (GOM) is a multi-award winning and well respected Australian acrobatics ensemble. The company creates engaging works of acrobatic art for touring, festivals and corporate clients. Formed in 2009 in Adelaide, South Australia, the ensemble creates and directs their own work with emphasis on an honest approach to performance, moving away from traditional circus and theatre models, towards a fusion of acrobatic physical theatre.
