Marea Colombo - Baroness

Multi-award winning comedian, and Billy T shortlister, Marea Colombo tells the tale of Angela Burdett-Coutts - the greatest Baroness you’ve never heard of. In a unique take on stand-up comedy, Baroness will be a chaotic and critical analysis of the state of the world. Because you know what they say – mo’ money, mo’ problems.

Baroness marks Colombo’s third solo piece and is produced under Late Bloomers. Late Bloomers is an Otepoi-based company founded by local creatives Marea Colombo and Bronwyn Wallace. The pair focus on creating original works that tell stories in innovative ways.
