Tammy Hearder – Encore

Back by popular demand for the Sydney Comedy Festival Encore season, Best Supporting Stripper returns with a whole bunch of brand new material after a hugely successful debut run. After years of funding her acting career one lap dance at a time, Tammy Hearder has finally landed the role of a lifetime: a struggling artist having a public meltdown for laughs. From the delusions of being an actress to the brutal realities of the adult industry, Best Supporting Stripper is a darkly funny deep dive into rejection, survival, side hustles and the questionable financial decisions that keep a dream alive. Blending sharp storytelling with chaotic honesty, Tammy unpacks the entertainment industry through the eyes of someone desperately trying to stay afloat in it, whether that means awkward auditions, emotionally devastating customer interactions, or convincing herself that this year will definitely be her year. Whether you’re here for the satire, the trauma bonding, or just to confirm your suspicions about stripper life, you’ll leave with something to talk about.
