Zoë Coombs Marr

Zoë is a performer, writer, artist and comedian. She grew up in Grafton, where she and her best friend staged a musical instead of going to schoolies week. In 2006 she won the National Poetry Slam Championships under dubious circumstances.

Her hit shows Bossy Bottom, Agony! Misery!, Trigger Warning and Dave – where Zoë plays a retrograde male comedian with a neckbeard – are all side-splitting, mind-bending romps.

Zoë is most recently the creator, writer and host of Queerstralia – a fascinating look into the untold LGBTQIA+ history of Australia, available to stream on ABC iView and nominated for Best Documentary or Factual Program and Best Direction in Nonfiction Television at the 2024 AACTA Awards.

Her new live show – Every Single Thing in My Whole Entire Life – debuted to Australian audiences in 2024. Nothing fancy, no big concepts. Classic Coombs Marr.
