Winner of Comedienne of the Decade at the 2010 NZ Comedy Awards, Michele A'Court is a stand-up comedian and writer who has been on our TV screens since 1987.
She talks a lot - sometimes on radio and TV, sometimes in pubs and clubs, and writes a weekly column on social issues.
Michele is also in demand as a corporate MC and entertainer, an actor, voice artist and freelance feature writer.
Michele has one child, Holly, born in 1993 - and didn't have any more because she was so spectacular, any subsequent children would have been a disappointment. Liberated from the daily grind after her daughter left home, Michele suddenly found the time she'd never had as a parent - to think about being a parent. Mostly, she spent the time wondering if she'd told her daughter everything she needed to know, such as how to store ginger, calculate GST, stop your tights from snagging, the meaning of feminism ... that sort of thing!
Stuff I Forgot To Tell My Daughter is the result of these musings and deals with all the big (and small) issues we forget to tell our kids. It's a must-see for people who have had children, those who might have children and those who have been children - as it's full of hilarious lessons for us all. A'Court's performance is a great combination of comedy, true life and, accompanied by her book, it's an accessible show that both women and men will enjoy.
