Could someone do an impression of actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus so well, that it summons her to the Fringe? Comedian Lily Hensby is going to have a crack at it.
If you're unaware of who Julia Louis-Dreyfus is, she plays Elaine in Seinfeld and Selena Meyer (the Veep) in Veep. She is Lily Hensby's favourite actor and for 60 minutes, you will see Lily perform a meticulous character study to perfect her impression of Julia. Julia lives in California, which is in America. The Sydney Fringe Festival is held in Sydney, which is in Australia. It is a 14 hour flight from California to Sydney. But if Lily does this right, if she does the best impression of Julia Louis-Dreyfus anyone has ever seen, magic could happen. Julia might just come all the way to the Fringe and give Lily the flowers she has worked for. Lily Hensby (she/they) is an improviser, published playwright, actor and director. She is from Dharawal Country and works between Gadigal Land and Naarm. Work includes: Hittin’ It Big (Old Fitz Theatre 2024), Last Time (The Motley Bauhaus 2023), A FINE LINE (Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023), We're New Here (Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023), STALLS (ArtsLab 2020), & Pretty Fly for a Dead Guy (Shopfront Arts Co Op 2019). Lily is also a house performer at Improv Theatre Sydney and The Improv Conspiracy.
