Comma Sutra

Australia's favourite grammatical comedy makes its Canberra debut after sold out seasons in Melbourne, Perth and Hobart!

Louisa's found true love in the English language, but it's hard being a grammar nerd when there are people selling "potato's" and misusing the word 'literally' at every turn. All she really wants is someone who'll snuggle up with her on the couch and seductively whisper puns into her ear. Ideally in multiple languages. Is that too much to ask?

"Comma Sutra is a brilliant cabaret show—brilliant in content and performance alike." - The West Australian

"One of the wittiest and most intelligent shows included in this year’s line-up. The songs are seriously clever and performed by an artist with astounding talent." - The Funny Tonne

"Witty lyricism and punchlines timed to perfection." - Theatre People

"An absolute affection for all things wordy." - The Australia Times

"A considered, entertaining and brilliant piece of work by an exceptionally talented Australian artist." - ArtsHub

Featuring a host of original songs ranging from audaciously pun-filled to downright saucy, Comma Sutra explores what it means to be a language nerd in an age of text speak and emoji. Improvised poetry, wickedly funny grammar lessons and a song celebrating the art of the ‘dad joke’ are all part of Fitzhardinge’s journey towards discovering why she is so smitten with the written.

With a love of language that extends beyond just English, polyglot Fitzhardinge switches effortlessly between four languages as she delves into sign language gone hilariously wrong and Germany's penchant for weird and wonderful words, culminating in a show-stopping multilingual finale.

One night only!
