URGENT UPDATE: Renowned comedian Mary Coustas is set to bring her beloved character Effie to Werribee on Friday, October 31, as part of her highly-anticipated UpYourselfNess tour. This event promises to be a comedic exploration of social barriers, delivered with Coustas’s signature humor that has captivated audiences for over three decades.
In a world where open dialogue can feel stifled, Coustas aims to challenge the norms through Effie’s unapologetic honesty. “Effie says what everyone feels; she is a mouthpiece for many types of people,” Coustas explained. Her character resonates with audiences as a representation of the underdog, particularly for those who feel marginalized.
The show will guide attendees through a comedic examination of complex issues such as feminism, racism, sexism, wokeism, and more. Coustas emphasizes the need for humor in navigating these topics, stating, “I think that is the great thing about comedy; it points out the tension, evokes it, and relieves it with laughter and insight.”
Effie’s ability to spark conversation rather than silence it is crucial in today’s society, according to Coustas. She highlights the changing dynamics of communication, saying, “People don’t know how to flirt anymore, how to have a joke… there are such hypocrisy around that.”
Fans can catch the show at the Italian Sports Club in Werribee, where Effie will engage audiences in a lively debate about the human condition and our place in the cosmos. Tickets are available now and are expected to sell out quickly. For purchasing, visit https://iscw.com.au/product/effie-2025/.
