Frankie McNair - Relax Your Knees
Relax Your Knees is a peek into the anxious brain of an aggressively optimistic dyslexic queer nightmare who was raised by TV and is trying their best. No story, no thru-line (cowards), just Frankie McNair screaming their favourite jokes for 55minutes and having too much fun in a grubby mix of stand-up, non sequitur sketch comedy and unbridled joy (*chef's kiss*)
Despite recently winning “Best Newcomer” at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the cult success of their alt-comedy show Emma’s Debutante (an absurd comedy lineup show created by Frankie McNair and Emma Holland which received rave reviews and a sold-out season at the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival). Frankie’s mum still frequently asks them if they need money. They do :)
