DARWIN FESTIVAL: Wanna Be A Star: Mema Munro
Advertisement
Because stand-up comedy and acting are exactly the same thing… right?
Sequins. Satire. Spirals. Mema Munro's blend of stand-up and theatre unravels manifestation, ambition and rejection while chasing stardom.
In this sharp, self-aware comedy show, Mema reflects on her acting career so far – from big dreams and drama school to teachers with suspiciously convenient medical degrees and pale, stale male producers who really should know better. Nothing is off limits.
Part stand-up, part theatrical spiral, Wanna Be a Star is a brutally honest, hilariously chaotic look at ambition, rejection and the glamour of being a currently unemployed actor. After winning Best Comedy Show at Darwin Fringe Festival 2025, this show is back for a special encore performance.
Delusional or desperate? You decide. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
