Katrina Mathers (The Wedge, Flipside, Footy Chicks) returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival with her first show in 23 years: Anything But The Dyson and Other Excellent Monologues. A series of excellent monologues about midlife mayhem. Expect a chaotic Dyson love-hate saga, menopause meltdowns, cold-water triumphs and a hot-pink suit. Older. Hotter. Funnier. Bring a fan.

Perfect for women who’ve lived a little, sweated a lot, just discovered the #WDNC Club and are looking for cheap cocktails and a desperately-needed night out with the gals.

The show is on at 6pm, so you can be home in bed by 9pm. (I know, right? I got your back ladies! Actually, no, I'm lying - the 6pm show time is so I can be in bed by 9.)
