About this event
Korinna’s hilarious stand-up show spills the tea on her bizarre cult-like upbringing, retired-hot-girl past, toxic exes and queer identity, in a heartfelt quest for freedom... Just don’t tell her mum!

At 32, Korinna takes you on a wild ride through her bizarre upbringing under a hyper-controlling mother whose cult-like rituals—like being forced to chant “Ricky Martin”, and being forbidden to socialise—shaped a life of chaos and comedy.

With razor-sharp wit and raw honesty, she unpacks being the weird-kid, her retired “hot-girl” past, toxic exes, queerness, and the messy quest for self-worth, turning painful truths into comedy gold.


Korinna, a rising Sydney comedian, blends stand-up flair with storytelling depth. She brings dynamic energy to this bold, heartfelt show.

'Sorry, my mum won't let me' celebrates how sharing our quirks connects us, asking: can we break from from our past by owning it?
Expect a rollercoaster of laughs, cringe-worthy stories, and heart-tugging moments that hit home for anyone who’s battled judgment or fought to define themselves.

A night of comedy that’s as freeing as it is funny—just don’t tell her mum!
