Follow That Turtle! by Tegan Higginbotham

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Years in the making, Follow That Turtle! is a chaotic, raw and hilarious look at the choices we make when chasing our dreams.

Part stand-up comedy, part theatre, all heart – this show is destined to become one of the major talking points of the festival.

As seen on Ground Up (ABC), Gnomes (Stan), and Have You Been Paying Attention? (Ten) Tegan Higginbotham is an award-winning comedian, actor, and writer. Her first stand-up comedy show was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. During that same festival season, she was also nominated for The Golden Gibbo for her work with comedy trio, Watson.
