Sajeela Kershi & Suzy Bennett

Pommie Funny Fillies

  • United Kingdom

Sajeela Kershi (Star of Brendon Burns Edinburgh Award-winning show, winner of AWA & Argus Angel for artistic excellence) is originally Pakistani. Suzy Bennett (Winner Funny Women, Finalist Comedy Idol. Jimmy Carr/Russell Kane support) is from Devon. These award-winning comedy thoroughbreds and good friends have galloped down under to Melbourne to perform their hilarious new show for you.

These relatable ‘women of a certain age’ are 'every woman' who deserve your 'R.E.S.P.E.C.T' (preach Sistas Turner/Khan/Franklin!) 

Saddle up, grab your tickets and see UK’s critically acclaimed, TV/radio regulars (BBC, Comedy Central, C4 & more) as they tackle politics, poppadoms, pasties and everything between!

Say neigh to a dull night in the stable and trot down to the lovely DoubleTree by Hilton for a hands-down most fun filled Comedy Festival hour of horsing around. Expect stand-up, sketches, storytelling. satirical, sardonic and silly!

'Magnetic, loveable & extremely witty.' The Spectator (UK)

'Best female comics appearing on the Fringe.' ★★★★ One4Review (UK)
