Who the f**k is Alice?

Alice Tovey (she/they) is a comedian, writer, singer-songwriter, award winning film maker and purveyor of fine grot. Once a classically trained opera diva, now a cult cabaret mainstay. Alice is a writer and segment producer on Gruen, Question Everything and The Weekly with Charlie Pickering at the ABC. She’s a regular essayist for the Sydney Morning Herald, and has had her silly musings published in major publications from PedestrianTV, to the Guardian, and beyond. 

Their critically acclaimed comedy hours are a blend of stand up, storytelling and song. Their inaugural comedy hour Malice earned them a nomination for Best Emerging Artist at the Adelaide Fringe. She’s an Adelaide Fringe Fund Recipient for her show Not Like the Other Ghouls, a QPAS nominated songwriter and playwright (alongside her long-time collaborator Ned Dixon) for her work in musical theatre, a Greenroom Award nominee for Best Original Songs and Musical Direction, and an AWGIE nominee for her work in comedy writers’ room ensembles.

Her short film Hen, starring Frankie McNair and Mish Wittrup, toured festivals around Australia, the USA, and Europe. The film won Best Victorian Short at Monster Fest 2022. She is currently developing an anthology of horror stories for screen.  

Alice lives in Sydney with her husband and her fat cat, Hudson.

She has a tattoo of Michael Myers on her thigh below the word ‘EXCELLENT,’ which serves as a mantra and a reminder of her favourite movie, ‘Wayne’s World.’
