@vidyarajan.bsky.social and I are also stoked we got to meet so many Gregs!

REVIEW: Vidya Rajan & Mel McGlensey, GREG – Melbourne Comedy Festival Are you a Greg? Do you know a Greg? You don’t have to be a Greg to enjoy GREG but it helps. I mean, you could cosplay as a Greg, identify as...

two women in front of the audience hold hands and strike a dramatic pose, there is a man from the audience joining him but a smiley face has been put over his face.

GREG is for Gregs and non-Gregs alike. It's a wild hour of alt-comedy from @vidyarajan.bsky.social and @melmcglensey.bsky.social and it was my final show of this year's comedy festival. It's Greggselent. www.keithgow.com/2025/04/revi...

Two women strike poses with faces direct to camera. One has her arm raised in the air and the other has her hand beneath the chin.

Two women strike poses over a mirror that is on the floor. They are both leaning forward.

The show poster for Greg. Two women strike poses over a mirror with faces two camera. They're wearing mesh and black and blue clothing.

Wow wowwow. @vidyarajan.bsky.social and I only ever set out to impress Gregs but some of the non-gregs at The Age said some lovely things about the show!

Only one week left to catch the show, 9:10pm at The Chinese Mus until the 20th of April!

We opened GREG last night & it's been a blast. Come if u need a real dose of silliness this melbourne comedy festival. And pls bring a Greg!!!

@melmcglensey.bsky.social

If you know a Greg or are a Greg then this show is for you Greg is an hour of absurdist sketch, improv and character comedy, taking as its starting point a pair of comedians’ fascination for a completely ordinary name.

Loving this beautiful write up about @vidyarajan.bsky.social and my upcoming show, Greg. We open April 8th, get amongst it!

My mom gets very excited about Aussie animals but can’t remember their names super well. Just now she yelled out (very loudly) that she had seen a “huge blue tongue skank”
