Body shaming, masculinity, and straight queer icons are all up for review in this episode of Australia's only national radio show for queer youth.

Bodies and Icons

Naarm/Melbourne-based comedians Freddie Arthur and Michele da Costa are on the lineup of 'Crackpot Comedy' - a Queer comedy extravaganza in what they're calling "the best suburb in Melbourne": Brunswick.  They talk to Loughlin Patrick about queer identity, pushing the line with their material and bringing their personal lives on stage.



Freddie Arthur is a local gig pig and the MC of 'Crackpot Comedy'.  A small-town girl, originally rom Mildura, her strangest gig to date was a 3-hour spot at Inward Goods Festival at 10 o’clock in the morning.



Michele da Costa is a Brazilian born comedian with a new solo show 'Life Alone'. The three-time RAW Comedy Semifinalist loves dark humour, bad puns and blending political rants with dad jokes shamelessly.



Crackpot Comedy runs on Thursday 11 and 18 April.  Life Alone runs from Wednesday, 27 March (tomorrow!) to Sunday, 7 April.  Head to comedyfestival.com.au for tickets.
