Bec Charlwood
Comedian, Podcaster, Presenter.
In 2014, Bec Charlwood went to an open mic night and decided to give it a go. It didn’t go great, but as a woman it was nice to talk for a few minutes without being interrupted. She’s heaps good at it now.
With effortless ability and hilarious candour, Bec delights audiences with anecdotes about her life, and searing observations while wearing her heart, identity, and values on her sleeve. It has seen Bec become one of the most exciting comedians in Australia.
Bec has been hand-picked to support comedians such as Alan Carr, Josh Thomas, Wil Anderson, Zoe Coombs Marr and Saturday Night Live’s Jay Pharaoh. She has also performed stand-up at Splendour in the Grass, Sydney Opera House, comedy festival Gala’s and clubs around the country.
Bec is the co-host of the brilliant and wildly popular Dude Cinema podcast. Each week, Bec and her best mate and fellow comedian, Alex Jae, watch and review movies that dudes just can’t believe they haven’t seen. She was also a panellist on Network Ten’s Unpacked series on Facebook Watch, recapping the goings-on in The Bachelor and Bachelorette mansions.
While a pesky global pandemic put a temporary halt to Bec touring her debut solo show around Australia, her reputation as one of best young comedians in the country only grew. Bec was showcased alongside some of the biggest names in Australia as part of the Lockdown Comedy Festival stand-up series for Stan. She also performed a split bill show with friend and comedian Rose Piper at the Sydney Opera House as part of their Digital Series.
After initially debuting at Perth Fringe 2020, Bec took her highly anticipated first solo show Dirty Girl to the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival. Bec’s show delighted audiences and received critical acclaim – she sold out her entire run at both festivals, including numerous extra shows.
Continuing her upwards trajectory, Bec worked on the latest season of Spicks & Specks as a joke writer and appeared as a guest on the show – a real dream’s come true moment.
In 2023, Bec will be returning to comedy festival stages with her brand new live show Good Funny.
It’s safe to say that Bec Charlwood is doing pretty good and destined for big things, so if you could let her mum know that’d be great.
