Emmaâs Debutante
My Deb Ball was fairly uneventful, save for showing off my Scandinavian girlfriend and mum scolding me for not getting my scruffy hair cut. Frankie McNair and Emma Holland take the premise of a Deb Ball and go turbo.
Respectively, they play a dysfunctional mother and daughter preparing for Emmaâs big night with a revolving cast all keen to make speeches.
Tonight, the Canberra-raised, Melbourne-based comedians rope in talent such as Randy Feltface who bursts out side of stage, disconcertingly close to a crowd member and does a great bit on âspelunkingâ his way to lamp switches.
