Amy Matthews
Definitions of Toast
Amy Matthews is making her Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut with her twice-nominated show following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run, with extra shows added due to demand. The show went on tour in the UK last Autumn, including a run at Soho Theatre and now it's coming Down Under.
Definitions of Toast is an hour of sparkling stand-up, exploring why Amy can't seem to get angry.
Her quest to feel rage unfurls an hour of hilarious and lyrical stand-up that unpacks how her processing lag has meant a pattern of partners on their sobriety journey, and how turning 30 brought with it both an autism diagnosis and her first queer relationship. All these revelations seem to be catalysed by a pigeon...
As seen/heard on EastEnders, Comedy Central and Off Menu.
