Big Pants

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Hear what happened to anxiety-riddled, musical-loving comedian Chelsea Heaney when she lost her luggage on Contiki.

From murder plots to musical medleys, Big Pants is a perfect balance of high-energy and high-depression. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry, so why not do both!?

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
