Speaking Topics Include
TAKING THE MIC - Amplifying women’s voices in male spaces (literally)
When Claire Hooper started her comedy career, the Australian showbiz landscape was dominated by straight, white, cis-male comedians. After twenty years of watching other industries embrace diversity of gender, race and ability - and despite incredible new voices emerging every year - the top tier of comedy is still a little sausage-heavy.
How do we, in comedy, and in all workplaces, create a more diverse culture and push for the inclusion of others without being pushed out of the room ourselves? Reflections, confessions and some big ideas from one of Australia’s favourite comedy voices.
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Claire Hooper is a comedian, writer and TV host with a secret obsession: horticulture.
The trained garden designer reckons plants are the best life coach, and wants to tell you how the lessons learned from nurturing your backyard or indoor greenery can be applied to your life and career to get them thriving. Thought provoking and irreverent, but most of all, inspiring.
