Gillian Cosgriff

Presented by Luckiest Productions and The Harbour Agency

Fresh from a smash hit sell-out season at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

Most cabaret acts emerge slowly onto the circuit; a few blast onto the scene in a blaze of glory. Gillian Cosgriff is one of the latter: singer, songwriter, pianist and all-round
comic genius. But it wasn’t always so. As a conscientious twenty-something, fresh out of
university, with a performing arts degree in hand (it’s only real workplace value being that she could use it to threaten possible employers with a nasty paper cut), no job,
no house, and existing on a steady diet of Pringles and vitamin water – Gillian’s calling
in life seemed to be... waitressing.

Following every tangent with meticulous precision, this show features a hilarious mixture of original songs and more familiar numbers, as Cosgriff explains in her own inimitable way how she manoeuvred those difficult ‘post-university’ years.

In 2010, Gillian Cosgriff won the Julie Michael Award for Musical Cabaret, the Hal Leonard Award, and the Sydney Cabaret Showcase Award.
