Episode 22 - BRIDIE CONNELL - Performer, writer
Bridie Connell is an ARIA and multi-award-winning writer and performer, with an array of experience in acting, comedy, voice artistry, musical theatre, and improvisation. She is a former national improv champion, as well as World Theatresports Championship finalist, and currently performs and teaches improv regularly in Sydney. Bridie was a cast member of the Australian version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, has appeared on True Story with Hamish & Andy, and was one of the reporters on the ABC Comedy show Tonightly With Tom Ballard. Bridie has written and performed several successful plays and various other shows, which have toured across Australia and New Zealand. Most recently, Bridie has seen international success with her show Fuccbois: Live in Concert, which was awarded the House of Oz Purse Prize at Adelaide Fringe, supporting them to back up their successful run in Melbourne and Adelaide with performances at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Soho Theatre in London. Bridie and the bois are now gearing up for their next chapter of touring the show in Sydney later this month.
In this episode, Bridie joins me to chat about all things Fuccbois; from the real-life inspiration and initial concept through to the show-stopping success amongst mega fans of the UK. She shares how improv is a defining part of her creative process, as well as how Yve Blake’s homework and encouragement contributed to her sea shanty success. We unpack the satire and songs from the show, and discuss the complexities of the in-depth backstories of the characters, even in a seemingly “silly” show. Bridie shares her view on the importance of arts to bring colour and joy to our lives, and how the existence of creativity is everywhere and a core part of what makes us human.
