Have you ever had that friend who can turn a trip to the grocery store into the funniest story you’ve heard all week? That’s exactly what it’s like spending time with Geraldine Hickey. Her show Meander had us in stitches from start to finish.
With her iconic mullet bouncing as she laughed at her own jokes (you’ll be laughing too), Geraldine makes you feel like an old friend. Her fresh tales from the 2025 I’m a Celebrity jungle were absolute gold—her face-to-face with massive spiders and snakes had the whole room in stitches. And those bizarre eating challenges? Her expressions alone were worth the ticket.
What really stood out was her ability to find comedy in the everyday. A story about getting hopelessly lost on a simple morning walk had me nodding in recognition. And when she imitated her wife teasing her for having “the directional instincts of a confused pigeon”? I nearly snorted my drink.
This Melbourne Comedy Festival Award winner brought her magic to Perth’s Astor Theatre on May 10th.
One critic called her “a big warm hug from your favourite (undeniably queer) aunty”—absolutely spot on. Her warmth, quick wit, and relatable storytelling make for a show that feels less like stand-up and more like a hilarious catch-up with a mate. You’ll leave with your cheeks hurting from smiling and a strong urge to see her again. Don’t miss her if she’s in town—you’ll be laughing for days.
