Joana Joy: Vibeologist. Socially Conscious Comedian: Standing Still.

STANDING STILL is a brand-new stand up comedy show by seasoned comic, ex-professional 'dancer dancer' and cabaret dynamo Joana Joy (Banana Jolie).

In a desperate move to 'do less' and 'be more', JJs latest comedy show, featuring Muay Thai demonstrations, jazz hands and a classic 'throw down', will see her stand (mostly) still, she hopes. Witty, vibrant and chortle inducing comedy that shines light on the human experience, from a socially conscious comedian.

Drawing upon her experiences as a psychology and philosophy graduate, Joana's material ranges from bits about being a mature age student, the history of dust, idioms rewritten, how to not smoke and have clean habits, meditation, tidying up, therapy and sibling dynamics.

Having hit her stand up career running, she has done shows and MC'd in Wellington, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Foxton Beach, Adelaide, Auckland and Melbourne. She has been on the same line up as Ben Hurley, Tim Batt, David Correos, Joe Daymond, Sameena Zehra, to name a few. Standing still may prove to be quite the challenge for this comedic star on the rise.
