Taking to the trial stand, fighting for justice and liberty, Karen From Finance presents DOING TIME.

Karen is headed for the lock-up, and her co-workers Frank-the-CEO and Amanda-from-Reception could not be happier – the way they jeer is down-right criminal! Will Karen From Finance prove her innocence? Will she walk free? Perhaps our favourite straighty-180 accountant isn’t so innocent after all...

A follow-up to her award-winning debut stage tour, Out Of Office – Karen From Finance’s hilarious new one-woman show again brings her distinct approach to drag, incredible wit, and a whole lot more drama for our favourite ‘corporate’ queen.

About City of Stonnington

Karen From Finance is the premiere ‘corporate’ queen of Melbourne, Australia. She lives alone with her budgie ‘Dantè’ and enjoys tax time, office-based bonding activities, and invoice archiving.

Karen placed as one of the top 4 finalists in season one of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under which took to international airways in May 2021. Karen recently completed a three year international tour of her award-winning debut solo comedy ‘Out Of Office’ as well as being cast in the touring version of the UK West-End smash hit ‘Death Drop’. After touring the world for many years, both as a solo artist and in ensemble productions, headlining tours around Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the UK and USA, Karen is currently embarking on further national touring with her sophomore solo show ‘Doing Time’.
