Laugh out loud with Alexandra Hudson Celebrating International Day of People with Disability

Join us for a special International Day of People with Disability event featuring award-winning comedian Alexandra Hudson.

Drawing on her lived experience and keen eye for the absurd, Alexandra explores life, disability and everything in between with warmth, honesty and humour. Hilarious, insightful and refreshingly candid, she has a knack for turning awkward moments into comedy gold.

Alexandra first took to the stage to make fun of the “misconceptions about her crippled life” in 2020. She has since become the winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's RAW Comedy competition (2022) and toured her shows throughout the comedy festivals of Australia, Edinburgh and across the USA.

Whether you identify as a person with disability, support someone who does, or simply want to be part of the evening’s hilarity, we invite you to join us for an inspiring evening of comedy.

Light refreshments will be available to purchase at the venue from 6:30 pm.
