Cassie Workman on crazy advertising

At the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Cassie Workman talks about returning to Australia after living in Brooklyn for a couple of years in this set from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

She speaks about how she felt she had to leave the US because of the political climate – and a bizarre trope of small business advertising.

She performed the set at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Big Four-Oh!, celebrating 40 years of the festival, recorded at the city’s Regent Theatre earlier this month and now broadcast on Channel 10.
