Johanna Lyon

SQR Reviewer
Jo is a young performer and writer dedicated to laughing with others. After graduating with her Bachelor of Creative Arts degree in acting from the University of Southern Queensland, she undertook further study to develop cabaret comedy. Jo is obsessed with consuming great performances/stories and coming to understand what makes them so. She is most interested in discussing and unpacking why humans do what we do in areas of life including: love, childhood, and discrimination. She aims to achieve connection between strangers within her work, for an audience to relate to something that is confessed/proposed/thought and then (best-case scenario) share their own relevant experiences with others.
