LIBBI GORR

“I think comedy has changed in that it’s more situational,” says writer and performer Libbi, aka

Elle Mcfeast from ’90s TV.

“It’s almost like the ‘fool’ has been resurrected to point out society’s painful truths. A little more empathy though, than the past.”

These days Libbi, 56, is a radio host on ABC Melbourne with This Weekend Life. “I present the Saturday breakfast and morning shifts, but of course no live shows,” she says. As for what is making her laugh today, that’s easy: “Ted Lasso. Roy Kent. My kids!”
