Ellen Briggs's Interests
|
| General | Laughing and loving | | Music | Music
Badly Drawn Boy, The Whitlams, Augie March, Powderfinger, Bernard Fanning, The Boss, Ben Lee, Sandrine, - I'm the queen of easy listening music and pretty much like anything except hip hop. I don't go for the hip or the hop! | | Movies | Films
Kenny, A Beautiful Mind, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, High Fidelity, Love Actually, Brokeback Mountain (saw Noise recently - FANTASTIC!!) | | Television | Television
I'm a sucker for a really bad reality TV program, as well as a good cheesy American drama like Brothers & Sisters and Grey's Anatomy. My all time favourtie shows were Wildside and NYPD Blue - not sure what that says about me. I also love Boston Legal, and good old All Saints. Also anything that gives me a laugh, like Parliamentary Question Time on the ABC. Sadly, I watch a lot of TV. | | Books | Books
The Other Boelyn Girl, The Bronze Horseman, Mao's Last Dancer, The Lovely Bones, The Red Tent, Shantaram, The Secret History, A Fine Balance, Family Matters...... I could be here all day. I'm currently reading one that hasn't been published here as yet called Fieldwork by Mischa Berlinski - a friend brought it back from the States for me - keep an eye out for it - it's fabulous so far. | | Heroes | Heroes
Mothers & anyone willing to get out there and give it their best shot no matter what. |

About me:
Ellen Briggs - Comedian/Writer
Ellen Briggs is a talented mother of two, with a sharp tounge and a rapidly rising career in the comedy industry!
Ellen has appeared on "Stand Up Australia", and was a finalist in the nationally televised Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2007 "Raw Comedy" Competition.
Ellen regularly performs as a comedian and MC at venues all over Australia, and can often be heard on "ABC North Coast Radio" and Byron Bay’s Community Radio Station, "Bay FM". In fact at the end of 2007, she was shortlisted for the breakfast radio program "The Cage" which is heard on MMM in Brisbane – without even applying!
Most recently, Suzie Perry, a popular BBC television personality from the UK contacted Ellen to do some co-writing with her for the various television and public appearances that she is required to perform.
Ellen has an easy-going, friendly nature that belies the dark wit that she presents. It’s been said that "Ellen says out loud the things other mothers only dare to even think", and that "with her tales of parenting, she could well become Australia’s next Fiona O’Loughlin".
Ellen takes her audience on an observational and hilarious journey through life as an accidental mother of identical twins and the wife of a husband who is away working for 9 months of the year.
Ellen has performed alongside the likes of Charlie Pickering, Sean Chulburra, Gina Yashire, Austen Tayshus, Puppetry of the Penis, Jimbo, Mandy Nolan, Brad Oakes, Julia Wilson, Greg Sullivan, and Claire Hooper – just to name a few!
