Overqualified : Dunedin Fringe Festival

Overqualified

From: Ōtepoti | Dunedin

Comedy Improvisation Storytelling

Live, Laugh, Learn? They're overqualified and overstimulated but they're still reporting for teaching duty.

From: Ōtepoti | Dunedin

Hana and Joelle have won a lot of awards; some of them are even relevant to their day jobs. Their husbands have stopped laughing at their jokes because they've heard them too many times, so they've put them into a show just for you.


Unfortunately for the husbands in question, the correlation between the number of high school extra-curriculars you attempted and becoming a calm and stable adult has turned out to be very negative. Now Hana and Joelle are both doing their best to girl boss at their day jobs, and at the same time wrangling a collection of children who don't seem that impressed by their many qualifications. Who would have thought it was possible to be so overqualified and so anxious at the same time?


Come join Hana and Joelle for an interactive evening exploring all the things they studied but don't get to talk about. Live vicariously through their dazzling storytelling. Laugh at the fact they thought they could handle being grown-ups. Learn ... something ... maybe?


The reviews are in:


"Nothing can be improved, it's perfect the way it is." - student feedback on Joelle's teaching, 2022


"I don't even know who Hana Cadzow is." - Student feedback on Hana's teaching, 2016


"Joelle Peters is mostly gravy" - drunk guy at a wedding, 2022


"No Aunty Hana stop, your singing is making the darkness stronger" - Hana's niece after requesting a bedtime song, 2023
