Lucy Best & Michele da Costa host Queer Comedy Variety Nights

Lucy Best (UK) and Michele da Costa (Brazil) established BiLife in 2022, in an effort to raise awareness of the bisexual lifestyle and its potential benefits to you, and your loved ones.
 
Thanks to the success of the BiLife campaign, Lucy and Michele are producing a series of Queer comedy variety nights as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023. Bringing together a bunch of funny folk from the LGBTIQA+ community. That’s it. They’re all queer. There might be a token straight person, in the interests of inclusivity.
 
Join Lucy and Michele for a night of laughter at UBQ - Downstairs and enjoy some of the best established and up-and-coming comedy acts. You may experience sketch and stand-up comedy, along with some musical delights and definitely a lot of laughter.
 
BiLife Founders, Lucy and Michele will be joined each night by four guest comedians.
 
Whatever your preference, there’s sure to be something for everyone. That’s the BiLife Lifestyle guarantee.

'Tastefully outrageous… There is a vulnerability and self-consciousness in Best's storytelling that is both relatable and admirable... warmness, grace and sharp humour. ★★★★' ArtsHub 
 
'Disgraceful is a funny... in-your-face trip down memory lane crossing times, trends and continents. Lucy Best does what she does best – tells a story of 'getting your sh/t together'... or not.' Weekend Notes
 
'Very funny one-woman show... resolutely unapologetic or regretful... Best’s delivery is surprisingly clean... consistently funny...
Best’s on-stage persona being especially warm and affable... slick delivery.' Jim Schembri
 
Michele da Costa is a pasty Brazilian, comedian, digital designer, dancer, gamer and overall unfocused adult child, relocated to Melbourne via New Zealand in 2019, just in time to enjoy a new life in lockdown. Recent credits include 2022 RAW Comedy Victorian State Semifinals, Like a Virgo (2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2022 and 2022 Melbourne Fringe).
 
Michele loves dark humour, bad puns and blending political rants with dad jokes shamelessly.
 
'Self-effacing, vulnerable and personally revealing. It's raunchy and sweet in equal parts… clever, witty, and more than a bit naughty… many laugh out loud moments.' Weekend Notes
 
'It was good to have this refreshing performer challenge many ideals and notions.' Melbourne Observer
 
'Da Costa is an endearing personality who immediately gets you onside…  she has wonderful stage presence.' ArtsHub
