Kitty Flanagan is an Australian comedian, writer and actor who works in Australia and the United Kingdom. She has also performed in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.[1]
Early life
Flanagan attended high school at Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College in North Sydney.[2] Flanagan got addicted to the laughs of comedy when she was in Year 5 at a school musical production of Alice In Wonderland, where she received plenty of laughs dressed up as a bunny who pretended to fall asleep during the performance.[3] Flanagan says she "was an attention seeker from a young age and secretly wanted to be an actor, but knew she did not have the mindset for the training".[4] Flanagan recalls that as a teenager, she would put on avant-garde performance shows with her younger sister Penny and they would involve their younger brother Michael by dressing him in tutus and giving him dance moves to do.[4]
Career
Kitty Flanagan is best known in Australia for her work on various television programmes including Full Frontal, The Project, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Utopia and in the United Kingdom for her work on The Sketch Show.
At the age of 21, Flanagan road-tripped around Australia and liked Western Australia so much that she moved there and lived in Cottesloe for a couple of years then lived in Bunbury and Geraldton.[5] Flanagan read news and weather at a country radio station, waited tables [6] and lasted only three weeks cleaning and packing crayfish in a Geraldton crayfish factory before she resigned.[5] Flanagan trained and worked as a PE teacher briefly before beginning a job in advertising.[5][7]
In 1989, Flanagan began her five-year stint as an advertising agency copywriter, creating campaigns for products like Quik (Nesquik) chocolate drinking powder.[1] After five years as a copywriter, Flanagan was fired in June 1993.[6][8][9] Following her exit from advertising, Flanagan worked as a bartender in a hotel, where there was an open mic night, so she decided to try stand-up.[10] Flanagan's first attempt was a success and it started her comedy career in 1994 doing stand-up at an open mic night at the Harold Park Hotel in Sydney.[11] Flanagan's debut performance as a stand-up comic at the Harold Park Hotel led to a spot in the final of the hotel's Comic of the Year competition where she placed third and won a bottle of red wine.[6] Flanagan had only been doing stand-up comedy for six months [12] before she was spotted in December 1994 by the producer of Full Frontal.[6] Flanagan joined the cast as both a writer and performer in 1995.[6] Flanagan left Full Frontal in late 1996 to concentrate on her stand-up while she continued writing and acting for television in Shaun Micallef's World Around Him, The Micallef Program, The 50 Foot Show and The Fat.
Flanagan moved to the UK in 2001 to further her comedy career and to do more stand-up. She did an English sketch show called The Sketch Show. She made a short film called Dating Ray Fenwick. Flanagan wrote comedy material for her former Sketch Show co-star Karen Taylor's sketch comedy show Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor which ran for two seasons on BBC Three.[13] Flanagan also worked with author and screenwriter Sean Condon to develop his screwball comedy script Splitsville as a hook for a television series, which later evolved into an e-book.[14][15] Flanagan got commissioned to write things for the BBC, Channel Four and Sky Television in the UK.[11] She also made numerous TV stand-up appearances on The World Stands Up for Comedy Central. Flanagan would regularly return to Australia for short visits and appear on television shows including Rove, Good News Week, Spicks and Specks and The Sideshow.
Flanagan took her stand-up internationally and performed at all the major comedy festivals around the world including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Montreal, Kilkenny, Cape Town and Johannesburg.[11] After eight years touring the world and performing stand-up in comedy clubs in England, Flanagan returned to live in Australia in 2009.[4] Flanagan had three months worth of work lined up in Australia and more kept coming in so she decided to stay.[9] Flanagan starred in the Comedy Channel's 2009 TV special I Can't Believe It's Not Better [16] before being contacted to join The Project for segments on various trending news topics.[9] Flanagan resigned from the The Project in August 2014 but stayed for four months to finish the year. Charlie Pickering approached her to join his new TV show The Weekly with Charlie Pickering where she created the segments ‘Spectacular Failures of the 21st Century’ and ‘Problem Solver’.[12] As the series progressed, Flanagan created two other segments called ‘Bandwagon Rider’ and ‘Human Barometer’.
Working Dog Productions asked Flanagan to work on their TV comedy series Utopia in 2013 and cast her in the role of Rhonda the public relations manager,[9][17] which Flanagan played for two seasons.[18] For a couple of weeks during the end of 2014 and early 2015, Flanagan was a stand-in for Annabel Crabb's weekly newspaper column for Fairfax Media,[19] and she continues to write for Fairfax Media occasionally. In 2010, Flanagan began touring Australia with her stand-up comedy show Charming and Alarming.[20] Flanagan tours with her sister and show co-star Penny Flanagan, and tour manager and former Full Frontal co-star Glenn Butcher, who is the founding member of the 1980s Newcastle comedy troupe the Castanet Club.[21] In 2013, the trio toured Australia again in the stand-up show Hello Kitty Flanagan. Flanagan, and her entourage of two, toured Australia with her third stand-up comedy show Seriously? in 2015.[22]
In 2015, Flanagan was the third Ambassador for the Adelaide Fringe Festival, succeeding singer Katie Noonan and inaugural Adelaide Fringe Ambassador and fellow comedian Paul McDermott.[23] Flanagan is an advocate of writing and writers in the screen industry, and she sponsored the Best Narrative Award at the 2015 Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival in Gympie, and helped to judge the film scripts in that category.[24][25]

Corporate Work and Literary Events
Flanagan tailors her comedy material to suit corporate events, galas, award nights and launches. Flanagan has written and presented videos for clients such as Nokia and Subaru.[33] An accomplished Master of ceremonies, Flanagan hosted countless awards nights and provided after-dinner hilarity for companies as diverse as Australia Post and the Australian Pharmaceutical Association.[33] Flanagan was Master of ceremonies at 2015 Art of Music Live which is a music concert held every two years, where a group of Australia’s top visual artists come together to create an original exhibition and each artist chooses an iconic Australian/New Zealand song to inspire an artwork.[34] The work is then auctioned at a gala dinner in the Art Gallery of New South Wales with all proceeds from Art Of Music Live going to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, who transform lives through music.[34]
In 2012, Flanagan joined a panel of writers, musicians and artists for the literary event called 'Women of Letters', an interactive talk that examines the lost art of letter writing and also celebrates women in writing.

Flanagan hosted 'Yarn Spinning',[37] the opening event of Word Adelaide that celebrates two sacred Australian traditions: telling tall stories and going to the pub.[38] Flanagan also featured in the event 'In Their Own Words', sharing the stage with Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame, Professor Roly Sussex and musician Guy Pratt who performed in bands Pink Floyd and Icehouse, to explore how the language of comedy has changed our lives and culture.[37][38]
