OBSERVER: Winni Wizard and the Ditzy Dizzard
Comedians Lisa Gatenby and Jacob Sacher will join forces to entertain ‘4-400 year olds’ as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in their show Winni Wizard and the Ditzy Dizzard, from April 5-11 at 2pm at the Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub, and April 12-17 at 2pm at Kindred Studios, Yarraville.
Their story follows Winni (the wacky wizard) as she visits her friend Ditzy.
Through hijinx and mayhem they soon learn that there’s more to success than being good at magic. Being true to yourself and following your dreams count just as much.
Can Ditzy learn to follow Winni’s lead and lean into being himself?
This show will encourage audiences young and old to avoid judging their self worth based on external metrics of success and rather aim to be true to one’s own values.
Winni Wizard and the Ditzy Dizzard is the latest addition to the Winni Wizard chronicles, with an exciting new character addition; Sacher as the Ditzy Dizzard.
Gatenby’s Winni Wizard has found magical success touring her previous shows over the past two years, and has since earned a cult following in Melbourne and Sydney from both kids and their adults.
Sacher is the Chair of Melbourne’s NFP Comedy theatre Cornershop comedy and has recently returned from New Zealand and the United States where he performed his unique brand of introspective comedy.
Performance Details: April 5 – 11 at 2pm at the Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub, 275 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe.
April 12 – 17 at 2pm at Kindred Studios, 3 Harris Street, Yarraville.
