Geraldine Quinn's "You're The Voice: Songs for the Ordinary by an Anthemaniac"

Geraldine Quinn "You're The Voice: Songs for the Ordinary by an Anthemaniac" MICF 2011
Geraldine Quinn sang this song at me the night I was front row for "You're The Voice"
and then tweeted about it. WINNING!

Moosehead Recipient and Golden Gibbo winner for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival of 2011, Geraldine Quinn presents "You're The Voice: Songs for the Ordinary by an Anthemaniac" under the direction of Casey Bennetto (Keating!)

In the words of Geraldine Quinn herself, "there's not much anyone can do to make me seem more than ordinary" (and while she is, in and of herself, quite extraordinary) she embraces being ordinary and catapults it to new heights in a series of high-octane rock numbers.

Backyard parties being hit on by the sleazy older brothers of your friends, stuck in time on a roadtrip with adult siblings, and struggling with the realisation at 35 moving home to live with your parents is not exactly her idea of fulfilling the Australian Dream.



Cynically optimistic, gleefully misanthropic.


I agree with Cameron Woodhead, why Geraldine Quinn does not have the profile of Tim Minchin or Eddie Perfect is a mystery, she is at least their equal. Geraldine Quinn IS the female Tim Minchin.


You're the Voice, Geraldine. Rock on!
