PSYCH WARD FAMOUS - A SEX WORKER'S TALE

CALLING ALL DARK COMEDY FANS!

SIAN SMYTH (ABC COMEDY / SBS ) brings you a show you won’t forget.

PSYCH WARD FAMOUS is an honest, darkly hilarious comedy straight from the heart. Drawing on Sian’s experiences in the sex industry, her battles with mental illness & addiction, plus one truly crazy realisation, PSYCH WARD FAMOUS goes where most comedy won't.

★★★★ GLAM, 2026.

“Groundbreaking and revolutionary, yet daringly funny.” The List, 2026

“An absolute gift for those who love dark, witty comedy.” Fringefeed, 2026

Doug Stanhope says Sian could “single-handedly tear down some heavy walls, shut some pretentious mouths and change a lot of what is considered marketable.”

Sian warmly welcomes sex workers, past & present, and anyone living with a mental illness.
