What a Surprise.
The award, which up until two years ago was named after veteran satirist Barry Humphries, recognises each festivalâs most outstanding show. This year, Hickey gave audiences a hilarious snapshot of her relationship with her now-wife. The show has earned rave reviews, including five stars from this masthead.
