Look out Adelaide! Here she comesComedy on the Rox's Kathryn Bendall is off to Adelaide in March with her first one-woman show Kath On A Hot Tin Roof. Directed by leading improv comic Rebecca De Unamuno, Kath On A Hot Tin Roof is the hilarious, poignant and ironic story of a suburban mother of three. Over 58 long hot summers, Kathryn has leapt from one hot tin roof to another, delerious most of the time and hanging on as long as she can. A very late bloomer on the comedy circuit, Kathryn draws on her life experiences including her sponsorship by an “Underbelly” crime figure into local government; an executive management career in a national financial institution while secreting her fear of flying, crossing bridges, snakes, toads and driving; and managing volunteers at Sydney 2000 Olympics, APEC and World Youth Day.Kathryn will stage her preview show at the Roxbury on Saturday February 21 at 6pm.

Audience FAQs
3. What can I expect as an audience member?
No heckling the new comics. Save it up for the professionals - the Headliner or the MC - they love it. However be warned - do it at your peril, they adore it when audiences take them on! No mobile phones. It’s just rude when people are performing live - sometimes people forget that this isn’t TV. Keep loud and animated conversation for the breaks, not during the show. If people have got something funny to say, we ask them register on the Enter Our Competition page and we’ll give them a spotlight, mic, stage and five minutes all to themselves. After the Open Mic section the MC will sign off for a 10-20 minute break. The show will then reopen with the headline act. Be prepared to laugh like you’ve never laughed before. We know it’s a school night so we plan to have you on the way home by 10.30pm at the latest.
