Backtrack a bit...So who exactly is this Lauren Bok lady?
She's a comedian.
Lauren Bok is an award-winning comedian from Melbourne with over 8 years experience in performance, radio and TV. She does mimes, burlesque, stand up and silly voices.
Along the way she's enjoyed multiple sold-out shows, rave reviews, best-newcomer lists (Pedestrian.tv and Broadsheet) was nominated for the Golden Gibbo at MICF 2019 and won Best Emerging Artist at Adelaide Fringe 2016, as well as writing for SBS Comedy and The Age.

OTHER STUFF
Burlesque - Laura Boxx
Lauren performs as Laura Boxx, and is a freshman burlesque performer appearing at Burlesque Idol, Moulin Beige, Melbourne Fringe Club, and her own alternative burlesque night with Nicole Henriksen, Linda's Motley Revue.
Laura Boxx is a tight lid that needs a pair of strong hands to open her. Behold the treasure within! A perky set of jumblies, legs for weeks, and a grin wider than her me down theres. Gaze in awe as you wonder if she's had any work done, is that a scar or a pimple, and is she supposed to be sexy or funny? The answers are no but definately soon, it's from a tragic boating accident and a big fat YES to both!

Between a Bok and a Hard Place
Stepping between the cracks of comedy to show the 4 things needed to make a show: Title, blurb, image, and to a lesser extent, talent.. Listed in the Guardian as one of the
four shows that will make you feel better about the world.
"Bok’s friendly, upbeat style will make you feel instantly at ease and the show’s underlying principles of self-acceptance and self-confidence speak to a defiant positivity"
★★★★ - Fourth Wall MediaIs That A Burrito In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy You Have A Burrito
We're born, we're shovelled into a channel of carbohydrate, the weight of life's commitments are thrown on top of us. The Tomato Salsa of Dreams. The Guacamole of Expectations. The Sour Cream of Hope.

Children's Comedy
Have fear, the World's Worst Babysitter is here! And she’s ready to eat all the icecream, make too much noise and never go to bed! .
"Don't miss out on The World's Worst Babysitter - She may turn traditional rules upside down but when it comes to entertaining children they need upturning. You and your child will leave firmly convinced she is the best."

Radio Variety Hour
with Sam Marzden and Bert Goldsmith
Radio Variety Hour is an hour-long comedy theatre show unlike anything you've seen (or heard) since about 1950... part loving parody and part improvised chaos. With the trio playing all characters, performing sound effects live on stage with a variety of household objects, singing old-time ads and often laughing more than the crowd, Radio Variety Hour is a comedy with something for everyone.
"The three comedians effortlessly create three distinct worlds over the course of the hour. Using a stunning array of live foley, unbelievable vocal skills and off-the-wall imagination it is a production quite unlike any other."
