What’s the secret to a FABULOUS life?
For years, Emma Krause thought it was smiling sweetly, appeasing others, meeting demands and doing the “right” thing.

Yeah. That sh*t doesn’t work.

Secretly, the school teacher and mum wanted to try stand-up comedy, but she never felt brave or “rock n roll” enough. What would happen when she got on stage and people saw that long swishing tail she hid so well? What would the school P&C and the Tupperware ladies think?

7 years into comedy, Emma no longer cares. Actually, her scales and horns are out now too.

And that feels bloody Fabulous to her.

A show about fears, limits, unsolicited advice and where all that shit can be shoved. For anyone needing more self love, laughter, or a sign to tell them their weird, quirky light needs to shine a little more.

About Emma Krause

After turning 40, Emma burst onto the Perth comedy scene in 2017, making her way to two State RAW Comedy Grand Finals. In 2019, she became a finalist in Channel Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent, launching her career in comedy.

Known for her role as Sue Finley in the Oz Lotto ads, Emma also toured nationally with the comedy trio The Motherhood, delighting audiences across the country.

In 2024, she debuted her first solo show 40+FABULOUS at Fringe World Perth, delivering an extraordinary 22-show run that sold out completely. Her standout performance earned her two prestigious awards, including WA’s Best Comedy.

Riding on this success, she toured the show to sold-out audiences across WA, solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the comedy scene and being awarded WA’s Silver Comedy Doustie Award.

In 2025, her show received further acclaim when Broadway Perth announced it as the overall winner for Best Solo Performer of the year.

Emma Krause stars as Sue Finley in the current Oz Lotto ads. Her dog, Molly (highly untrained) appears in these ads too. Molly is cute, but can be stubborn to work with artistically. 

A two time RAW Comedy WA State finalist, Emma appeared on Channel 7’s 'Australia’s Got Talent' in 2019, winning her way to the final 30 acts. If it wasn’t for the dance group “Little-(*%*#&)-Cookies” she says she'd have made the Grand Final. 

Emma has toured nationally with the award-winning comedy trio The Motherhood, delighting audiences with relatable stories about being a mum. If you’ve ever shared your story with Emma after a Motherhood performance, it's likely you've been the inspiration for this show.
