The Splash Zone

Brisbane Comedy Festival & Melbourne Comedy Festival

Strap in. Let’s go. Zoë’s feeling fun. Welcome to the Splash Zone.

Pop on your poncho for a full ball, pedal to the metal, embarrassingly silly display of going all in, pulling out the stops, leaping before looking and let’s be honest here, just trying to make you laugh. Which is good for you, because it’s a comedy show. Just dumb, splashy fun in the form of “stand up comedy”, with jokes, stories and goofiness from your favourite chaos imp, Zoë Coombs Marr.

This show is about chats. About people, their mouths, and the stuff that comes out of them (or doesn’t). Conversations, goss, speaking, clamming and shutting up, and getting your numerology done by an uber driver.

It’s about the rich human tapestry that binds us all together via hopeful attempts at communication like the use of the phrase “rich human tapestry” in this blurb, which is meant to read as funny and not earnest and disgusting. But who knows. Discuss.

All of these words, concepts, and more, may be in this show, but don’t overthink it – let’s just see what happens, shall we?

Live

Canberra Comedy Festival, Gold Coast Laughs & Hobart Festival of Comedy

Fresh from sold out runs in Edinburgh, London, LA, and New York (and soon Mumbai!), join Zoë Coombs Marr for an hour of laughs when she hits the stage near you!

You might have seen Zoë on Spicks & Specks, Thank God You’re Here, The Weekly, Question Everything, The Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, her Amazon special Bossy Bottom, hosting Mardi Gras, or in her own ABC series Queerstralia, among other things. She’s also been nominated for heaps of awards, which she occasionally wins. Good on her.

In residency: A perpetual work in progress…

Melbourne

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

It is also… possibly… a crowdwork show. Or is it?

Don’t worry, I’m not going to pick on you. Or am I?*

This may be a disaster. Or will it?

Regardless, “Or is it?” “Or am I?” And “Or will it?” are all questions that we can hope to answer, or at least ask, by the end of this series of WIPs.

You can also expect:

• Brand new never before told stories and jokes from my spreadsheet (tbh sometimes the first time is the best, the golden high that I will spend the rest of the year chasing)
• On-stage floundering (which is, cruelly, often more entertaining than anything polished)
• Fun props? I dunno. No spoilers, but I’ve got some ideas…

Perhaps it will be the greatest thing ever. Perhaps it will veer off into a completely unknown territory and we’ll discover that there ARE still original ideas left! Perhaps it will be an hour (roughly) of fumbling through what’s funny and what’s not and what might eventually make up a show, of sorts. Perhaps I’ll ask you what you do for a living, or if anyone’s from out of town, or if there are any couples in tonight? Perhaps you’ll lose all respect for me, or perhaps we’ll all fall in love.

Come along, it’ll be fun.

Every Single Thing In My Whole Entire Life

Adelaide Fringe Festival

This is a tell all, all warts, personal storytelling comedy show.

Nothing fancy, no big concepts, it’s just going to cover every single thing in my whole entire life.

In 2023 Zoë was the creator and host of ABC’s Queerstralia. You might have seen her on The Weekly, Spicks & Specks, Question Everything, The Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, JFL Australia, JFL Montreal, her Amazon special Bossy Bottom, or hosting Mardi Gras, among other things. She’s also been nominated for heaps of awards, which she occasionally wins. Good on her.
