OK, I realise you may not know who Nanna Carreau is, nor care a fig about what her news may be, but I hope by the end of this blog post, you’ll be far more interested. And if you’re not, perhaps it’s time you had a bit of a sit down and think about yourself, you ageist person, you!
I don’t want to be rude, but you should be excited for Nanna Carreau, at her advanced age, out there trying to break into Stand Up Comedy! And doing while living in a dinky little town nobody will have ever heard of, and at her advanced age!
Nanna Carreau and her exciting new act have been described as, ‘not hilarious, but definitely very funny’, and ‘cute’. Her act will appeal to all who have ever had that forgetful, word on the tip of your tongue thing, when you know what the word is, but just can’t say it, or when there’s something you just thought, a relevant thought, a brilliant one even, but you just quite catch it and get it back …
Nanna Carreau’s show has laughs in it for sure, but it also has the truth too, about how life can be for older people, when they’re getting ever closer to their final years.
Nanna Carreau keeps on keeping on, but she is all too aware those lumps, bumps, as well as aches and pains are steadily getting worse, and soon, you know, maybe kicking the bucket could finally be a welcome relief, but not just yet, Nanna Carreau has some acts booked this month and the next, and she’s loving it!

stand-up is a hard gig especially in later life; good on her; I suppose she’s appearing locally ?

Yes, very locally in fact. In Mallala, which is just 6 km from where I live!

Nanna Carreau is appearing in Eudunda Tuesday and Kapunda Thursday next week. Or maybe the other way around. She’d better check the calendar …
Then there will be a gig in Two Wells Bowling Club, later in this month, then assorted others … I suspect Nanna Carreau may need to organise someone to help her to organise herself!

Her first gig in Gawler was brief the others are with an organisation for carers in South Australia. Not paid gigs, but I’ll have copies of my books there, if anyone’s interested in purchasing them, so who knows …
