Square Pegs
Square Pegs is a split bill stand-up comedy show by Georgie Row and Louisa Jones.
As two (neurodivergent) thirty-somethings, Louisa and Georgie each bring their own take on the decade. The show addresses the highs and lows of new motherhood, tales from a career in HR, dating, and an addiction to health fads that promise quick fixes with minimal effort. This show brings the laughs with a mix of the strikingly relatable and utterly unhinged.
Louisa is a comedian, writer and improviser based in Brisbane who has written and performed in the Anywhere Festival, Brisbane Fringe Festival and Brisbane Comedy Festival. She spent two months in the United States in 2023, training at iO Theatre and Second City as well as performing stand-up comedy in Chicago and New York. Louisa appears regularly on the Big Fork Theatre stage and Brisbane stand-up scene.
Georgie is a comedian and writer from Brisbane. An ex-lawyer with a background in theatre performance and direction, she has also written and produced sketch comedy. Georgie has undertaken training with the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Cours Florent theatre school in Paris. She appears regularly on the Brisbane stand-up scene.
Together, Georgie and Louisa bring you a comedy hour that will keep you wildly entertained, whether you're preparing for, living in or fondly remembering the exciting (and often confusing) ride that is your thirties.
Ridiculous Human Being w/Stuart Foreman
I’ve always known I’m a ridiculous human being—clumsy, absent-minded, and one bad decision away from being a walking PSA. But then I became a parent, and the universe threw me a curveball: a daughter who seems destined to follow in my chaotic footsteps.
This show is about my desperate, hilarious attempt to break the cycle and give her a fighting chance at normalcy. Can I teach her the life skills I’ve never mastered? Or am I doomed to raise the next generation of lovable disaster?
Come laugh at my misadventures, and find out if chaos really does run in the family
