Originally from the South Coast of NSW, Kirsty Carr is no stranger to a four-letter word. She made her comedy debut in 2020, right before the world shut down (and still pleads the events were unrelated). 2021 saw Kirsty tour with Clare Elizabeth Dea and her one-woman show – The Spiritual Love Guru. Opening shows at the 2022 Sydney Comedy Festival and Sydney Fringe Festival for heavyweights Tom Orr and James O’Connell, she quickly became a fixture on the Sydney comedy circuit. She placed 3rd in WA Comedy Lounge’s Gong Show in 2022, was a semifinalist in the 2023 Yo Mama Battle and shocked everyone when she took out the Australian Roast Battle title in 2023. 2023 also saw Kirsty completing multiple variety shows in Sydney and NZ Fringe festivals. Beyond the stage, Kirsty’s comedic charm has gone viral on Yeah Mad TV, making her a recognisable face in the online comedy realm.
