STANDING STILL

Join seasoned comic, ex-professional dancer Joana Joy as she navigates the delicate balance between doing and being in Joana Joy: STANDING STILL. The show promises to be an unforgettable evening of stand-up, punctuated by moments of electrifying dance (maybe even a Muay Thai demonstration), all set to a playlist controlled by YOU, the audience.

Ironic winner of Australia’s Funniest State/ Territory (Adelaide Fringe ‘23), this kiwi sweetheart and vibeologist delves into the intricacies of the human condition, touching on topics ranging from meditation and tidying up, to idioms and sibling dynamics. With a background in psychology and philosophy, she offers a fresh perspective on productivity and overachieving, all in the pursuit of stillness.

With a string of accolades across the Antipodes as her cabaret alter-ego, Banana Joile, (Splendour in the Grass Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Falls Festival, ACC ads, Australia’s Got Talent Finalist) Joana Joy is definitely "an entertainer clearly unafraid of, and at home with, both herself and her audience."
