Mary Coustas

This Is Personal – you gotta find the funny

  • Australia

After launching at the Sydney Opera House and a subsequent successful tour, Mary Coustas brings her critically acclaimed masterclass in storytelling This Is Personal to Melbourne International Comedy Festival. This candid and intimate one woman show combines the coarse tapestry of Mary's migrant upbringing in Melbourne’s suburbs and her recent experience of motherhood.

Directed by Blazey Best (Well Behaved Women, Sensitive Guys, Kings for Pigs), Mary addresses questions from her inquisitive daughter, her answers forcing her to reflect on what she can offer from her own life experience… and more importantly what she can’t. To help, the audience meets the characters from Mary’s family who have shaped her life – including Mary’s younger self who created the suit of armour we’ve come to know as 'Effie'.

Laced with Mary's comedic flair, This Is Personal is a kaleidoscopic exploration of love, loss, laughter and fear, and how all four come to define us.

Suitable for audiences 15+
