Alex Jae - Melbourne Comedy Festival

Have you ever said something is ‘totally fine if not!’ even though it is, in fact, totally NOT fine if not? Do you find it hard to stand up for yourself when it counts? Do you apologise for existing in every important email you ever send? Alex Jae does! And she’s got a brand new show about it, ‘Totally Fine if Not’!

After a sell-out run and extra shows by popular demand at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2021, Alex returns to Melbourne with a brand new show full of tales and jokes about trying to be assertive in the modern digital age.

Alex is one half of hit podcast, The Ladies Guide to Dude Cinema, and after climbing the Sydney comedy ranks Alex has worked as a writer and featured cast member on Channel Ten’s Pilot Week & Saturday Night Rove, as a writer on Channel Ten’s Show Me The Movie!, as a panellist on Channel 10’s Celebrity Name Game, has opened for comedians such as Wil Anderson, Greg Behrendt, Gareth Reynolds and Dave Anthony (The Dollop Podcast) and plays Dani in award-winning series Thirty.
