The Art House Presents
GILLIAN COSGRIFF – FRESH NEW WORRIES 

This one goes out to my overthinkers, stress heads and worrywarts. To anyone who’s been spiralling so hard they’re basically a slinky. We’re drowning in opinions these days and it feels like the only places we have to interact with people who don’t share our views are Ubers, hairdressers, and family Christmas. 

Multi-award winning musical comedian Gillian Cosgriff has been worrying for years, but it’s a testament to her work ethic that she’s able to continually find fresh new worries. Expect brilliant songs, joyful pessimism, and a high likelihood of leaving lighter than you came in.

Gillian has won hearts on Thank God You’re Here, Aunty Donna’s Coffee Café and Question Everything.

Winner – Melbourne Comedy Festival Award 2023
