Anne Edmonds

“Rolling with the confidence and energy of a prize fighter, Edmonds is touchingly engaging and horrifyingly cruel – often in the same sentence.”

Get Krack!n: Shopper's Korner - Atomic Fresh

Anne Edmonds is the rock star of Australian comedy, and everybody knows it.

Her fearless stand-up is a masterclass in taking aim at any worthy target, no matter how close to home it is, as exemplified in her most recent solo stand-up show Why Is My Bag All Wet, filmed for Paramount + which secured her the 2025 AACTA Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy.

Known for her no-nonsense attitude, she’s not one to tolerate any level of bullshit. And as any of her many alter egos, Anne transforms into characters that are both terrifying and familiar in equal measure, most famous of which is the iconic Helen Bidou, the fashion and beauty ‘krackspert’ on ABC’s Get Krack!n.

Anne continues to be a familiar face on Australian TV screens, regularly appearing on Network Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here as well as Fisk, Taskmaster Australia and Celebrity Gogglebox.

Recently announced as the host of Talkin’ About Your Gen, Eddo is sure to bring her sharp wit and unique perspective to exploring generational differences. Secretly she’s just hoping someone from Gen Z will explain to her how to use the word ‘slay’ in a sentence.
