Rachel Berger is one of Australia’s most highly regarded, adept, and adaptive comedic talents, working variously as a comedian, broadcaster, novelist, columnist, agitator and television entertainer.

Political, passionate and armed only with her material, Rachel has been prowling the stand-up circuit like a tigress for 21 years. She’s taken four solo shows to the Edinburgh Festival and her dynamic presence and engagingly sharp observations have made her an extremely popular performer both live and on television, across Australia and overseas.

Her debut novel for Penguin, Whaddya Mean You’re Allergic To Rubber?, sold out faster than Judas.

 

"She is one of the sharpest comedians of either gender or hemisphere" The List, Scotland

"It is the offbeat observation, the incisive knack of showing up everyday events for the ludicrous pantomimes they really are that separate the women from the girls ... In this department Rachel Berger is a real Star..." The Guardian, London

 

“Not only did you have the entire audience howling with laughter on the night, your experience, professionalism and guidance in the lead up to the event were invaluable to the committee."

" We are hugely appreciative of the amount of time and effort you put in to ensure that the whole night would be a success. We especially loved the way you thoroughly researched our industry before the night, and wove your understanding and insights into the performance. It was a rousing, hilarious and highly relevant kick-start to our conference.” AUSTRALIAN MARKET AND SOCIAL RESEARCH SOCIETY CONFERENCE.

 

“She’s brave, funny, clever and best of all, human”. Lily Bragge, The Age

“From beginning to end, she has us eating out of the palm of her hand, and considering that food is a major theme in her story, that’s an especially good thing. Even though tinged with sadness, her anecdotes have a humorous edge.” Stephanie Glickman, Australian stage online
