The Briefing – Melbourne Fringe Festival

America's (second) most notorious liar is coming to Melbourne Fringe.

Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is on a global propaganda tour—and her first stop is Melbourne. Join one of the Trump Administration's most trusted truth-twisters for an event that is part press briefing, part character stand-up and part improvised Q&A. Don't forget to bring your questions!

The Briefing:
- Written, produced and performed by Melissa McGlensey
- Directed by Adam Hembree
- Supporting roles played by Randy Adeva and Kiran Stanford Rao

She has trained at comedy theaters including The Upright Citizens Brigade (LA and NYC), Reckless Theater, The Improv Conspiracy, ImproMelbourne, Laugh Masters Academy (Sydney and Melbourne) and The Second City (Chicago).
