Liz Kingsman has vaulted from 'silly, stupid' sketches in university to London's West End — and now Sydney Opera House — with her hit One Woman Show, which skewers cliches.

Kingsman has described the excess of cynically made confessional theatre following Fleabag as a "feeding frenzy".Early life on stage

It's the same excitement she feels days out from her first show at the Sydney Opera House , and that she felt in December when she debuted One Woman Show on the West End. While she did perform in high school plays, she mostly spent her teenage years reading books, going to film clubs, and watching a friend perform with the Australian Theatre for Young People , admiring the stage from afar."In order to do it, I'd have to say aloud: 'I'm looking to do that.' So I just never told anyone or did anything about acting on any front."

These years instilled a knack for "working under pressure in last-minute situations, like when you've got a show to open at 8pm and you're still halfway through your tech [rehearsal]," she says.

There are some very funny comments here. Much funnier than the comedienne I’d guess.

Damn stupid tweet and article headline. ‘Skewers’? What’s that supposed to mean.

Comedian? Yeah good one.

More white women on ABC? Shouldn't we request the ABC go on the referendum? What % is white at the ABC? I Billion Dollars a year could go to our communities and help our children mmmmm Read. Australian Broadcasting Coloniser's. Even the CEO is a white women.

This show has been critically acclaimed. You have been warned.

Just the ABC having another round of Circle Jerk. There's a reason she's working with the public broadcaster and not a commercial talent.

Surely not

Also today... Six fabulous recipes to keep 'Him' happy. And Harry and Meghan... Are they really aliens from Uranus?

If her comedy is another monologue complaining how oppressed she is and how bad men are I'll give it a pass.

Pretty sure my idea of comedy and that of a Guardian critic is wildly different.

What's her best menstrual joke?

Have we never heard of her because she’s not funny?
