- HRT GIRL SUMMER (Marnie Mills comedy show)Pride of our Footscray Community Bar | , Melbourne
Get ready for an egg cracking summer!
A chance photo opportunity transitions into an eye opening journey of gender rediscovery. Suddenly, in her 40s, Marnie Mills is born and there's no going back. After a lifetime of living deep inside her shell, she's out and ready to party! (Link to tickets here)
If only she knew the first thing about being a woman.
Marnie may be fully grown but she's experiencing the world for the first time. There's a whole life to catch up on. Hair, make-up, dresses. Hormones. And scariest of all, wading back into the dating pool.
It's an origin story 42 years in the making. - Pride ComedyPride of our Footscray Community Bar | , Melbourne
