FAN favourite comedian Geraldine Hickey will perform her latest production – Meander – at Her Majesty’s Theatre in August, with Welsh expat Lloyd Langford in tow.<\/p>\n

Hickey, who first came to prominence in 2001 by finishing second in that year’s national RAW Comedy final, has since appeared on popular TV programs including I’m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here and Have You Been Paying Attention?, and won Most Outstanding Show at the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.<\/p>\n

She said the idea for Meander emerged simply due to the fact that she likes walking.<\/p>\n

“At the time I’d just done a walking marathon and I really liked the opportunity to get out and go for these training walks,” she said.<\/p>\n

“So the show’s about the benefits of being out in nature and how much I (enjoy) it.<\/p>\n

“It’s a feel good show, there’s nothing profound about it, it’s (just) a show where I take the audience on a lovely meander.”<\/p>\n

She encouraged locals to come along and have “a night out and a night in at the same time”.<\/p>\n

“That’s what this is,” she said. “That’s what going to see a comedy show can give you.<\/p>\n

“You (can) go to the movies, that’s two hours or more, but this is one hour and it’s live.<\/p>\n

“Being able to see live comedy is so much different to what you see on TV.<\/p>\n

“You get to have this shared experience with other people and you get to go home early if you want.”<\/p>\n

Geraldine Hickey – Meander (with Lloyd Langford) takes place on Friday 22 August at Her Majesty’s Theatre.<\/p>\n
