Shiralee Hood
Australia’s Comedy Dynamo and Voice for Cultural Empowerment
Shiralee emerged as the National Winner of the 2009 Deadly Funny competition, marking the beginning of a vibrant career in comedy. Over the past seven years she has entertained audiences across Australia with her uproarious stories and unique perspective on life. As the host for a 2012 VIPA Awards, Shiralee has been rocking audiences with her hilarious stories and an outrageously funny take on life.
Her resilience shines through her experiences, surviving Canberra’s bushfires, residing near the Tent Embassy's sacred fire, and even after losing her front teeth on an iconic Hill's Hoist mishap, embodying true Aussie spirit.
Shiralee's solo performance at the 2013 Canberra Comedy Festival, titled “Shiralee Hood Is All Fired up!”, ignited passions and showcased her infectious energy and comedic prowess. Beyond her success in comedy, she also excels as an accomplished actor, director, master of ceremonies, and radio presenter on 3CR's award-winning program, “Beyond The Bars”, where she amplifies Indigenous voices from within the prison system.
