Saw the iconic Kathryn Bendall in her Adelaide Fringe debut show “Kath on a Hot Tin Roof” on Sunday night. Kathryn is a friend of SageCo‘s – but she’s more than that. As her favourable review in the Advertiser yesterday remarked, “she is a magnificent example to all who dream of a second life.”

Kathryn found herself retrenched four years ago at the age of 55. Defying very unhelpful comments from supposed ‘career professionals’ advising her that she was ‘dreaming’ if she thought she was employable – Kathryn reinvented herself into a stand up comic. The show is a great chuckle; I do love the barbecue story.

Faced with a somewhat enforced retirement, Kathryn has redirected her life. And as her husband Ron says, “At least stand up comedy is cheaper than golf!”

There are five more shows to catch. Quick. Hurry. This mature age icon deserves an overflowing house.
