Julia’s back to regional roots
FORMER Married At First Sight COMEDIAN Julia Morris is bringing her hugely successful Lift and Separate: Golden Jubilee Tour to Geelong next month.
Fresh out of Africa following the latest season of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, Morris’ 18-show regional tour will bring her to Costa Hall on June 3.
“The audiences can expect a big laugh for an hour and 20 minutes in my company,” she said.
“I wrote this tour last year and took it to all the capital cities and it was my mum who said why aren’t you doing any of the regional theatres anymore?”
“I am from regional NSW so the regional audiences are more my people. We’re pretty down to earth, we like a laugh, we don’t like anyone to be too up themselves and we don’t really like anyone standing in our faces trying to teach us a lesson. This show is none of those things.”
Morris celebrated her 50th birthday three weeks ago and the show, she said, was a farewell to her 40s and the lessons learnt.
“I am enjoying being the youngest person in the next age group, rather than the oldest person in the one I have just left behind,” she said with a laugh.
“I have got to the stage where I still enjoy looking lovely but my god I am going to be comfortable ... I am pretty much in trainers all the time unless I am on television.”
Three weeks after the tour wraps up, Morris will begin filming Blind Date and preparing to relocate from Melbourne to Sydney, where she now finds herself working most of the time.
