The act
For a couple who want the reception hosted by a comedian, and whose crowd can take a joke about itself. Kimmy has done stand up and MC work for 26 years, writes the set for your event with in-jokes about your crowd, and changes costume at least three times. A former singer, much of her comedy is song parody, her Whitney Houston number becoming I Will Always Be Mean to You, with interactive numbers where your guests sing, do silly aerobics or dance. It runs anywhere from G rated to a little cheekier; you set the dial. Book a 30 to 60 minute comedy spot, or have her host the whole wedding reception across a few hours. Based in Sydney, she's one half of the Foxy Hornbags and has toured from Hobart's Theatre Royal to Mount Isa and New Zealand.

Good to know
What to expect
Kimmy shapes the trivia, comedy or emcee work around your event and your crowd, so it doesn't feel like a set someone brought in from somewhere else. Her staple bits include What About Me by Moving Pictures, I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston, and a workout routine set to It's Getting Hot In Here. There's plenty of audience participation if your guests are up for it, and the whole thing can sit anywhere from G rated to a bit cheekier depending on what you want. She changes costumes a few times to keep it moving. Book a 30 to 60 minute comedy spot, or an MC or trivia night where she comes and goes across a few hours.
On the day
A cordless microphone and a PA, plus somewhere private to get changed. That is genuinely the whole list. The change room matters more than it sounds, because the costume changes happen partway through the night rather than before it starts.
Set List
The set gets written for your event, with in-jokes about your particular crowd worked into it. She usually starts with a meet and greet in costume before the main show. There are interactive songs where the audience sings along, does silly aerobics or gets up and dances, so nobody sits still for long. At least three costume changes across the night, and she finishes with a photo opportunity for your guests.
