Christmas Actually premiered in Brisbane in 2018. Have you performed it each year since? 

We have. It’s probably our most popular show, though we can only perform it for a few weeks each year. We took it to Sydney in 2019, and then obviously COVID stopped us going back in 2020 and 2021. So, we’re stoked that we get to do it in four cities this year. The Sydney and Brisbane seasons will run concurrently, so we’ll have two separate casts doing the same show in the same week, which is just wild, but so exciting.

Yes, it’s the first time in Little Red history that we’ve recast a show and had someone else essentially play me – which is hilarious. I can’t believe we haven’t done it before. 

You’re starring in Brisbane again, while Libby O’Donovan plays your part in Sydney. Will she recreate your patter?

Libby’s a cabaret icon and legend, so I know she’s going to bring her own flavour to it. Anyone who’s seen Christmas Actually knows we change the comedy a lot. It’s a bit of a wrap-up...
