Anna Dooley
Endhoe
Ever been inside a comedian? Join Endo as she takes you on a journey inside Anna’s body. A rare glance at the inner workings of one of the world’s top 20 most painful diseases – endometriosis. She’s hilarious, cunning and ready to wreak havoc. No painkiller shall pass.
ENDHOE is an award-winning show written and performed by Anna Dooley. Winner of the NZ Fringe Tour Ready Award, Hollywood Fringe Tour Ready Award at Sydney Fringe 2023 and nominated for Best Theatre Performance at both Sydney and Perth Fringe Festivals, Anna has been touring this comedic solo performance to educate the masses on a disease that affects one in nine uterus owners. With 21 performances of ENDHOE under her belt, Anna is returning fresh from Edinburgh Fringe and ready to go!
Anna has lived through four operations, more than 40 hospital visits over eight years and a gargantuan amount of unsolicited advice. From listening to a man play the ukulele in the emergency waiting room to doing stand up comedy in an operating theatre, this is Anna’s story of living with endometriosis.
'By exploring her lived experience through this wryly comedic set-up, Dooley brilliantly mined the tension between the hilarious and the poignant.' ArtsHub
'Her meticulously crafted performance was loaded with acerbic humour and her innate comic timing was exceptional.' ArtsHub
'She is very clearly a wildly talented performer who belongs on the stage.' Praise Dionysus
