We’re New Here

Performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, 2023

Written, performed and produced by Lily Hensby and Lotte Beckett

Two gals, born and bred in New South Wales. One life changing move to Victoria.

Lily and Lotte have heard every anti-NSW insult in the book, and they’re sick of it. But they’re also sick of their home towns. Awks. Maybe it’s time they explored Melbourne, the place everyone’s talking about. Damn it, they might even enjoy it. But at what cost to their identities?

It's cabaret meets character sketch meets ego death, asking the important questions like; has anyone ever heard of Nowra, NSW? Am I am a scumbag for being from Sydney? How far can I get on the Hume Highway before I need another wee? 

Sketch comedy duo Hensby and Beckett leave their shame behind to bring you 55 minutes of hilarity, chaos and jokes about their mums.
