Fiona O’Loughlin (AUSTRALIA)
Fiona O'Loughlin is widely recognized as the funniest working mother of five in the comedy industry. She has sold out theatres around the world and performed at several major festivals earning rave reviews and new fans with every performance. A columnist, writer and presenter for Australia’s ABC radio for the past decade, Fiona first took to the comedy stage in 2000 with her one woman-show Fiona and her sister (and some weird guy) which won the Barry Award for best newcomer in Melbourne and sold-out its debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her follow-up show From Here to Maternity was much anticipated and exceeded everyone’s high expectations with sold out shows, extra shows added and thousands of fans unable to get tickets! During her previous visit to Just For Laughs, Fiona’s performance went so well she was immediately invited to headline The Improv in Los Angeles and meet with several network executives. In short, Fiona O’Loughlin tickets go almost as fast as her mind works.
