Borishkiva: Bad to the Bone

She’s there when you close your eyes to go to sleep at night, basically she’s like a sexy-evil Sandman with a knack for turning your fears into hate.
Borishkiva has been whispering in the ears of ill-adjusted world leaders for centuries resulting in some of humanity’s lowest points.
Flip through a history book some-time, her K.P.I’s (Kills per injustice) are off the charts.

But when Borishkiva falls for a particular Irish Rock-star with debilitating glucoma, The Fear industry starts to slip.
Can Borishkiva re-ignite fear & hate or will she be kicked to the contemptible curb by human-kind…ness?

From award winning cabaret comedian and cheeky, soul-bearing, grub Johanna Lyon comes a WILD night of song, stand-up, skits and sex appeal!
Don’t miss the corrupt cabaret event of The Fringe!

Johanna Lyon

Johanna Lyon; cheeky, soul-bearing grub is an actor and cabaret comedian dedicated to laughing with others.

After graduating with her Bachelor of Creative Arts degree in acting from USQ, she undertook further study (honours) to devise and develop new work. More recently Jo wrote, produced and performed her first full-length solo cabaret, ”Irrashional”, at the Sydney Comedy Fringe with a strong homecoming season in Brisbane. This oddball is most interested in discussing and unpacking why humans do what we do concerning love and discrimination. She aims to achieve connection between strangers within her work, for an audience to relate to something that is confessed/proposed/thought and then (best-case scenario) share their own relevant experiences with others.
