Follow the funny, raw and real journey of one woman as she dances with the hospital system for more than two decades to become a self-proclaimed Professional Patient.

In this unique (maybe a little absurd) comedic celebration of hospital life, Anita shares stories about friendships made, friends lost, and the angels that kept her alive.

Anita uses ancedote, observational and sketch comedy to have you failing in love with hospitals, nurses and catheters.

Nominated “Best in Comedy” at last year’s Sydney Fringe Festival, Anita is described as ‘having great comic delivery and joy inducing commitment to the physicality’ Theatre Reds.

During her Adelaide Fringe season, Anita laughed with nurses, hugged fellow patients, and answered the unspeakable questions of surgeons and medical professionals. 

Winner of Sydney Fringe’s “Best Emerging Artitst” in 2023, Anita is excited to bring her show to The MC Showroom in Prahan as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival this October.

 

Written and performed by Anita Lovell
