Gillian Cosgriff: Actually, Good
Highly polished show with a mix of songs, audience interaction and stand-up celebrating the small joys in life.
Gillian Cosgriff won Most Outstanding Show at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival with this brilliant hour of hilarious original songs, killer stand-up, and a big book of things that are actually good. In 2022, she started asking people what they like. The answers were simple and complex, hilarious and beautiful. Cloves. Fancy hotel foyers. Seeing a cow and yelling, 'Cow!' This is a show about the little things that make the big hard things manageable, and pointing at the bits of the world that make you yell, 'Wow! Isn't this great?!"
