Nikki has performed solo shows, such as Asexual Healing, was most recently performing in the Comedy Festival improv show Completely Improvised Potter (which is great!) and won the 2019 Midsumma Poetry Slam.Nikki will tell us about her new fringe show Wasp Movie. When Nikki moved into her cute new house, she was looking forward to turning it into the home of her dreams. She wasn’t counting on the wasps who also wanted to make it their dream home as well. In Wasp Movie, Nikki pools her creative talents to pay homage to one of the world’s least loved animals – the Wasp.You can find out more details about the show and buy tickets at the Melbourne Fringe website – Wasp Movie.Another show about animals that you might want to check out is Creatures Lost
