An evening with LADY JULIA MORRIS
and special guest Jackie Loeb

 

Straight from sell-out comedy festival seasons in Melbourne and Sydney, Julia Morris is on her way to the Sunshine Coast and will appear along with special guest Jackie Loeb at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre on Friday, June 27.
 
Ever since singing Holding Out For A Hero on New Faces at the age of 17 and tying first place with a girls' marching band, Julia Morris knew she was going to make it big.

Several years of honing her stand‑up and variety skills followed, both as an entertainer in Club Med resorts and as resident MC at the Sydney Comedy Store. Then Julia got her big television break in 1995 on the Logie award‑winning comedy sketch show Full Frontal.

Quickly becoming a household name, roles followed for Julia on many popular 90s shows including In Melbourne Tonight, Beauty and the Beast, Great Aussie Bloopers, Gladiators, The Midday Show, Who Dares Wins, and Good Morning Australia.
 
In 2000, Australia's favourite funny lady left our shores to show the UK how it's done, and eight years on has achieved both commercial and critical success in the UK on stage, radio and television. She hosted TV shows for the BBC, appeared in nearly every major international festival from South Africa to Montreal, won the prestigious Herald Angel award at the Edinburgh Festival 2002 and was named Time Out magazine's Comedy Performer of the Year in 2004.

Since returning to Australia with a husband, a daughter and a title bought on the internet by husband Dan, “Lady” Julia Morris has featured on every major commercial television channel, on shows including Good News Week, Sunrise and Thank God You're Here, and was series team captain on Foxtel's Astra award‑winning The Singing Office.

Julia and her opera superstar partner David Hobson not only won the third series of Channel 7's hit show It Takes Two, but, with their interpretations of songs like Tina Turner's We Don't Need Another Hero and the Habanera from Bizet's Carmen, also provided the nation with some of the most memorable TV moments of 2008.

Julia's stand‑up featured at the gala performances of both the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney's Cracker Comedy Festival. Her stand‑up shows in both festivals were complete sell‑outs.

As the Melbourne Herald critic wrote: “When Julia Morris is in full verbal flow on a stage, it's as though Joan Rivers, Germaine Greer and Betty Boop are all living inside the same body. Phew, she's a scorcher”.
