  • Created and Performed by: Annie Lumsden & Lena Moon

  • Produced by: SKINT

  • Sound Design: Olivia Mckenna

Annie and Lena are bringing a wild night of all the talk show hits: Celebrities (played by us), Musical Guests (also us), and, most likely, some classic Annie and Lena sketches (played by us). Come with the duo as they skewer the highs and lows of showbiz through sketch, improv, characters and, of course, musical numbers they wish they had backup dancer budgets for. You think you’ve seen talk shows before, but not like this.

Annie Lumsden and Lena Moon are performers and writers, you may have seen them in Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe (ABC) or heard them in the award winning podcast Starship Q Star which has won awards across the US, New Zealand, and Australia. When they're not performing together you can catch Lena at her regular show Something Good at Comedy Republic or on her Twitch Channel and you can find Annie on Utopia (ABC) or on stages across Melbourne.
