Sure, ticking the ‘45-54 years old’ box has its perks, like flash rehab and zero interest from handsy harassers. But divorce and homelessness loom large unless this Slacker Grandma cancels her membership to Australia’s fastest growing club: alcoholic women over 50.

Kel cut her comedy chops on brekkie radio in Coffs Harbour. In her first year she was nominated for the Australian Commercial Radio Award for Best Newcomer (she lost) and Best On-Air Team (she won, with a little help from her co-host).

She entered rehab in 2019, stand-up in 2020, and independent producing in 2021. Her comedy troupe, Take 3, has performed in the Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festivals.

With the kids full-grown and relapse a chardy away, her parenting advice can be distilled down to “devon and white bread produce winners,” and “never join the P & C.”
