During the month of May 'Sit Down Comedy Club' line-up features one of Australia's favourite performers, the divine Miss O: Fiona O'Loughlin.  

Port Douglas Carnivale and Cairns' comedy fans can enjoy a huge line up of the best of 'RAW Comedy' contestants with MC Matt Mann to kick-off the night for Fiona.  The Mission Beach show sees Chris Franklin join the gang to warm up your laughing gear.

When Alice Springs mother of five Fiona O’Loughlin started doing stand-up later in life than most comics, her hilarious stories of housewifery and motherhood were an immediate hit. 

Her first festival show, for example – Fiona And Her Sister (And Some Weird Guy) earned her the Best Newcomer Award at the 2001 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.  She’s been enjoying sell-out seasons on the festival circuit ever since. 

In 2006 she took home the Piece of Wood, an MICF award for funniest show as voted for by other comics.  In 2007 and 2008 she was nominated for the MICF’s Barry Award for Best Show.

Fiona has taken her story-based stand-up around the world, headlining LA’s world-renowned Improv Comedy Club, playing repeat seasons in Hong Kong and performing at Edinburgh Fringe, Montreal’s invitation-only 'Just For Laughs' and the UK’s prestigious Leicester Comedy Festival.

Fiona’s also been a hit on the telly with guest appearances on Sunrise, Good News Week, The World Stand Up and Spicks and Specks to name but a few.

In more recent years Fiona has overcome a well-documented ‘battle with the bottle’.  This, like the other aspects of her life, has become ‘material’ for her stand-up.  And Fiona is even funnier sober but that doesn't stop you having a responsible drink during the evenings!
