Funny In Failure

Catherine Bohart is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor who has performed multiple critically acclaimed solo stand up shows across the world. Her stand up special, 'Immaculate' is available on Amazon Prime. She is also performing a number of shows in Australia so check them out! The blurb is below.

Her broadcasting career is rapidly on the rise, with credits including: Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, A League Of Their Own, House of Games, Pointless Celebrities, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Roast Battle, Celebrity Mastermind and as a correspondent on The Mash Report. She recently filmed LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland for Amazon Prime.

Catherine is also a talented actor, with credits including Mawaan Rizwan's BBC sitcom Juice and the sketch show Lazy Susan for BBC Three.

During lockdown, Catherine co-founded and co-hosted the award-winning online stand-up gig Gigless. The gig won a JOE.ie Award for Best Online Show and Catherine also won a Chortle Award for Legend of Lockdown. She also hosts the podcast Trusty Hogs with fellow comedian Helen Bauer.

Ireland's award-winning Catherine Bohart returns to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with a very funny new solo show, Again, With Feelings. She's older than ever and quite frankly, adulthood isn't living up to her expectations. In this second coming-of-age tale, Bohart navigates the complexities of having death-obsessed parents, living in a shared house when you have OCD, and confronting the intricacies of queer reproduction in her thirties. What she thought would be a straightforward entry into adulthood turns out to be an hilariously twisted adventure.

We chat about the highs and lows of doing standup, wanting to get better, being an expert debater, her unique path to comedy, perfectionism, what are you willing to do philosophy, being cut from Tv, her new shows, plus plenty more.
