For the last ten years Gen Fricker has been a busy girl. She’s been honing her stand-up comedy craft by headlining shows on the national comedy circuit. She’s been perfecting her presenting prowess by hosting radio programs on Triple J and she’s become a household name through regular TV appearances on shows like Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Project!
It all seemed like a seamless plan was working in her favour. But in 2018, life took off in a different direction. A stalker broke into an ABC studio and assaulted her while she was hosting a radio program. Then her boyfriend dumped her. Then she got kicked out of her house. Then she felt like she had to leave the only job she had ever really wanted.
It’s left her angry and vocal and passionate about making change. Luckily, its also left her with enough material for a brand new comedy show (natch).
This is what happens when you become famous for your worst day ever and then emerge victorious!
