Geraldine Hickey will gladly say what everyone’s thinking: trying on wedding dresses is a nightmare scenario, being sober sucks, and no one reads the email. Hickey is a born and raised Aussie who takes the mundane and makes it a highly intriguing, helplessly hilarious narrative that will retain your attention.
Hickey is only looking for fun in life. Who wants power and responsibility when it comes with all the work and requires you to look ahead and know what’s next. Hickey would rather be blissfully ignorant and believe what’s next is a bouncy castle.
Hickey’s highly relatable style has earned her the Most Outstanding Show award at the 2021 Melbourne Comedy Festival for What A Surprise. The Age gave the show five stars and said it had the, “Crowd heaving back and forth on their seats.” The Beat joined The Age in granting What A Surprise a five star rating, calling it “High reward comedy.”
Hickey is not only skilled on the stand-up stage, she also creates hilarious sketches. Hickey has a series of “The bullshitter’s guide to…” One of her most recent plays on the universal thought that every viewer of the Olympics has once had, ‘how can you train your whole life and suck that bad?’ The prequel to this sketch covered the Tour De France and hilariously instructed the audience on how to BS your way through a cycling conversation.
Check out the delightful surprise that is Geraldine Hickey’s stand-up special, “What A Surprise”
