Me, My Mother and Suzy Cato - NZ International Comedy Festival (Auckland)
Advertisement
It's December 1999, and the one thing helping 17-year-old Rachel avoid the fact she's terrified about her future is the promise of ringing in the year 2000 on a beach with her friends/love interest. So when her mother insists she greet Y2K in an apocalypse bunker her father’s built in their front garden, Rachel turns to the only rational adult she can think of, beloved children’s entertainer Suzy Cato.
This darkly goofy one-woman show is written and performed by elder millennial and apocalypse worrier Florence Hartigan, who can also be seen acting in TV comedy Madam alongside Rachel Griffiths.
A nostalgic journey through the era of Britney Spears and low rise jeans, Me, My Mother and Suzy Cato is a tale of past demons, future hopes, and the universal struggle of the family we need versus the family we get.

Outstanding Performance by an Individual - Auckland Fringe Awards, 2024

“An impressive acting feat…she never misses a beat.” – Tinsel and Tap Shoes, Australia
“A hilariously sweet and surprisingly affecting journey of adolescence that sneaks up on you like Y2K itself. Highly original and funny as.” – Josh Thomson
