Gemma Caruana has a lot of big feelings.

Perfectionist theatre kid, turned carefree comedian, turned divine feminine monster. Bear witness as this clenched & campy diva explores the nuance of female rage through sketch, song and a complicated relationship with funghi pizza.

Directed by Greenroom Award Nominated Director Sharnema Nougar (Two Little Dickheads) and Composed by Daniel Tusjak, RAGE BAIT invites you to blow off some steam this Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
