A new act by gifted Australian comedian Geraldine Hickey, famed for her deadpan delivery, centres on accepting and appreciating her newly acquired privileges. She jokingly acknowledges that her award-winning performances have allowed her to acquire luxury items like excellent cameras and horses.
Hickey is regarded as a comic archaeologist for his ability to draw humour from the absurdities of daily life. She started her career in the early 2000s, and thanks to her well-received appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, she has emerged as a leading figure in the field.

She finds the term somewhat reminiscent of the FBI, despite only recently realising that she is a person of colour, humorously implying that it’s an invitation for people looking to exploit white guilt. Hoo’s stand-up performance typically addresses serious subjects while keeping things humorous and engaging, and it culminates in an upbeat and motivational speech with corny music.
