The Women’s Room

After three sellout seasons at the Canberra Comedy Festival, two at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and nominated as Best in Comedy at the Sydney Fringe, comedians Trish Hurley, Tanya Losanno and Jacqui Richards are ready for anything. Hurley and Richards (both Raw Comedy National Grand Finalists) and Tanya Losanno (2x Moosehead recipient) have just completed their third joint show – The Women’s Room Underestimated.

Hurley, an ex-nurse and avowed hypochondriac, is living proof that you can be both. In between diagnosing her neighbours with imagined illnesses, she’s managed to land a new job – she’s the personality hire. And she’s just come back from travelling the world with her reluctant uni student son and a husband hell bent on getting the best deal ever. Richards, an ex-therapist who belatedly realised she is not a people person, has gone from trying to convince people she’s Australia’s most popular widow to dodging match makers and public servants. She’s developing a social conscience whilst wondering whether her kids have actually ever told her the truth about anything.

Losanno, a marriage celebrant and pre-school teacher, is caught in the sandwich generation. Between marrying people, she’s stressing that perfect daughter duties don’t have an end date when you have immigrant parents. In the jumpsuit stage of her life .she’s trying to balance her hormones and her teenagers. Together they are making Australia laugh about things that affect all women of a certain age in a certain stage and in the process they have won a legion of new comedy fans.

The Women’s Room – for women and the people who love them.
