In this week's funny episode, Caroline is joined by the incredibly talented Kimmie Lovegrove, a proud Ngarrindjeri and Romanian woman who has been gracing the comedy scene since 2014. With accolades such as Deadly Funny finalist in both 2017 and 2018, and appearing as a special guest on the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival roadshow in 2021. Kimmie has taken her passion further by curating comedy shows and creating comedy workshops through her company Kungari Productions, to help support and make way for other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander comedians in Victoria. Caroline and Kimmie engage in a lively discussion about navigating the comedy industry as a Blackfulla, delving into the art of crafting jokes and the delicate balance between humour and offence. Kimmie graciously opens up about her personal journey into the world of comedy. From a spontaneous school talent show comedy skit that secured her first-place victory, to the revelation of stand-up comedy as her calling, Kimmie shares the unique twists and turns that have shaped her path.
