Brace yourselves, Mackay – a comedy cyclone is headed your way and her name is Emma Krause.
Fresh off a sold-out, award-winning, laugh-till-you-snort Fringe World run, this Perth powerhouse is strutting her way to the tropical north with her hit show 40+FABULOUS – and trust us, it’s exactly the kind of big, bold energy we all need right now.
Not only did she take out Best Solo Performance at Broadway Perth and WA’s Best Comedy in 2024, but this ex-schoolteacher-turned-stand-up-queen is the real deal. From slaying the stage on Australia’s Got Talent to playing Sue Finley in those cheeky Oz Lotto ads, Emma’s journey from PTA meetings to punchlines is the stuff of legend.
And what’s her secret? According to Emma, it’s ditching the ‘nice girl’ script and letting those fabulous scales and horns show.
“Comedy has been my way of finding my voice,” she says.
“Now it's about using it to represent the women who’ve supported me. I feel more like an everyday mum than a stand-up comedian – I’m right there in the trenches with them!”
40+FABULOUS is raw, hilarious and oh-so-relatable – think unsolicited advice, ageing gracefully (or not), and the glorious art of not giving a flying fig anymore. It’s comedy with a glitter bomb of empowerment, and audiences are living for it.
“I used to worry what the school P&C or the Tupperware ladies would think,” Emma laughs.
“Now I say – let your weird, quirky light shine. The world needs it.”
Whether you’re 25 or 65, this show is your permission slip to live louder, laugh harder and stop apologising for taking up space.
Mackay, your moment is coming – don’t miss Emma Krause bringing the sass, the sparkle, and a truckload of truth bombs to town. One night only. Bring your girlfriends, your mum, or just your fabulous self – but whatever you do, bring tissues… for the tears (of laughter).
This show is a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt invisible, overwhelmed, or just plain over it. 40+FABULOUS doesn’t shy away from the awkward, the unfiltered, or the laugh-so-hard-you-snort moments – in fact, it celebrates them. From botched beauty treatments to school drop-off dramas and the wild world of dating after divorce, I bring it all to the stage with a wink and a whole lot of heart. If you've ever screamed into a pillow or accidentally worn two different shoes to work, this show is for you. So grab your girlfriends and get ready for a night of big laughs, real talk and unapologetic fabulousness — Seabreeze Hotel, July 17. Be there or be... slightly less fabulous.
