Alexandra's list of accomplishments include, opening for Hannah Gadsby, writing for ABC Everyday, and was a 2023/2024 recipient of the Creative Australia’s Arts and Disability Initiative which saw her touring her accessible and Auslan interpreted debut solo hour 'Making Lemonade" throughout Australia, and returning to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe for a full 2024 season.
Bronwyn Kuss misses a time when hobbies were hobbies –
things you did for the love of it and not as a side hustle. So, she set
out to write a show that celebrates passion without profit. I’ll Allow
It is a love letter to unprofitable and unproductive pursuits. Though
she would still really like to make millions off comedy.
It’s been a
huge couple of years for Bronwyn. Her 2022 debut solo show won the
Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Director’s Choice Award and saw her
nominated for Best Newcomer. In 2024 she won the Festival’s Pinder Prize
and with that headed to Edinburgh where she wowed the crowds with her
signature delivery.
A writer and comedian who specialises in giving
extremely dry recounts of everyday experiences to astonishing comedic
effect, Bronwyn has supported the likes of Hannah Gadsby, Nish Kumar,
Mel Buttle and has performed on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala.
Incredibly
likeable and wonderfully witty, Bronwyn Kuss exudes the seasoned finesse
of a veteran comedian, effortlessly turning a roomful of people into a
cascade of laughter.
