Episode 10 Lily Hensby on “I, Julia”, Improv & Female Comedy Icons
In Episode 10, I’m joined by actor, comedian and improviser Lily Hensby as she prepares to take her show “I, Julia” to the Sydney Comedy Festival.Inspired by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, we dive into the female comedy icons who shaped Lily’s voice from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Kate McKinnon and what shows like Saturday Night Live represent for performers coming up today.We talk about why Australia doesn’t always create the same space for female comedic inspirations, and what that means for emerging artists trying to build careers locally.Lily shares how improv became more than a skill, it became a lifestyle, and the rules that underpin it: saying yes, trusting your instincts, and backing yourself even when there’s no clear path.We also get into TikTok, going viral, creating characters that connect, and the shift into making your own opportunities rather than waiting for them.A funny, thoughtful and honest conversation about comedy, creativity, and putting yourself out there.https://lilyhensby.com/abouthttps://www.tiktok.com/@lalahenzhttps://www.instagram.com/lalahenz/https://www.youtube.com/@lilyhensby
