About this show
After a lifetime of anxiety, complex PTSD, and low self-esteem, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer Frankie McNair is finally done making themselves small. So now whenever self-doubt creeps in, they ask themselves one simple question: What would someone with a huge ass do in this situation? A chaotic love letter to comedy, delusional optimism, resilience and becoming the ass you want to see in the world! Most Outstanding Show nominee, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2026. 'A proud, powerful and hilarious show' * (Chortle.co.uk). 'Fearless, funny and unexpectedly moving' * (GlamAdelaide.com.au). (List).
