Taylah Whelan
The Worm
The Worm. An anxiety-driven theatrical comedy that delves into queer modern dating and self-destruction.
Follow comedian Taylah Whelan through a spiral of disastrous romantic encounters and bizarre anecdotes, backdropped by a haunting giant worm. Audiences will laugh, cringe, and reflect as Taylah embarks on a date with a hot (terrible) man, a chronically online screenwriter, and her biggest nightmare - someone who’s actually well adjusted.
Witness a blend of standup and the Twilight Zone in this tragic comedy about perseverance, shame, and (of course) worms.
Taylah Whelan has performed spots at gigs such as Skint’s Scratch Night, Dirt Comedy, and Grub Comedy. This is her second solo show at MICF following the sold out extended season of her debut 'A Pleasure to Have in Class', also directed by Caitlin Soennichsen. Caitlin is a multidisciplinary director with past successful MICF shows such as 'Tell Me I Suck' and 'The Isaac Haigh Variety Hour'. Her film work is award-nominated and has featured at St Kilda Film Festival and Flickerfest International Film Festival.
