Info
Cassie Workman is an Australian comedian, writer and musician known for her emotive storytelling, her incisive wit, and brutal deconstructions of the status quo. Cassie entered the public eye after winning Triple J’s “Raw Comedy” national open mic competition in 2009. Her 2019 show “Giantess” debuted at Melbourne International Comedy Festival where it was nominated for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award for most outstanding show, the festivals’ highest accolade. She then went onto win the Best Show Award at the Sydney Comedy Festival. During the pandemic, Cassie scored a grant from the City of Sydney to write an epic poem called “Aberdeen”, a stunning one hour long-form poem about rock star Kurt Cobain. Her performances sold out rapidly, and the show was described as “A poetic genius’ punk-rock love letter.”** At Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Aberdeen won the Scotsman Fringe First Theatre Award**, was a **Times Critics Pick **and received rave reviews.
