Since their sell-out season in 2014, #FirstWorldWhiteGirls have been making audiences squirm with delight with their hilariously narcissistic brand of slick comedy and catchy vocals. And now they are back with #FirstWorldWhiteGirls: Botox Party! - that further satirises first world entitlement and the self-obsessed "me" generation.
#FirstWorldWhiteGirls are throwing the most exclusive party in town and you're invited. Grab a botox cocktail and join the girls for an outrageous hour of confessions, makeovers, celebrity worship and backstabbing in this hilarious celebration of first world vanity.
Take a peek into the lifestyles of the rich and heinous, set to a soundtrack of original comic songs exposing the struggles of our age - quinoa enemas, Snapchat filters, accidental sexting, foetus facials and the Refugee Diet.
It features popular actor Judy Hainsworth and Meggan Hickey who will also provide live piano accompaniment.
Don't miss this chance to see just how offensive privilege can be.

Unique Selling Point
Premiering in 2014, #FirstWorldWhiteGirls has an immediate hook for audiences. It’s toured extensively across Queensland including a nine-venue tour in 2016. The girls have had two sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe and in 2017 will again be part of the Fringe, this time as part of the highly sought after Royal Croquet Club.
The show is highly portable and designed to tour. In 2017, there will be a six venue tour of regional Queensland, as well as a season at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. This is an entirely new show, featuring new cast member Meggan Hickey as live accompanist.

Media Review

During sixty minutes of original songs and patter they riff on the problems of the First World as seen through the eyes of two ‘entitled Princesses.’ ... left the 30-something mostly female audience satisfied but still wanting more. So did I. (Read More)

A fluid one-hour comedic routine that does not falter in consistently delivering quality laughs and unabridged talent. Clever observations teamed with tragically relatable humour is what makes #FirstWorldWhiteGirls fresh and exciting, and everyone, including myself, exited the theatre with a (slightly guilty) smile on their face.
