On this episode of Do it Again But Better, Jess chats to actor, writer, marriage celebrant, comedian and one woman show machine, Emily Carr, as they compare notes on the joys of marrying people for a living, the hilarious insults people hurl at you when they see you in a TV commercial, and Em's tendency to be cast as the 'Miss Honey' type. As more drinks are consumed, the discussion veers far and wide towards ageing in the industry, women's mental health, and the somewhat planning of ridiculous hypothetical weddings.

You can catch Emily in Duck Duck Goose at Theatre Works from April 3-13th. You can find her on Instagram at @emilyclarecarr

Emily Carr is an actor, writer, celebrant & MC based in Melbourne. A graduate of QUT Drama, she has also trained with esteemed institutions such as NIDA and The Groundlings, refining her skills in acting, comedy and improv. With an extensive background in theatre and film, Emily has developed a passion for creating her own work. Her recent accomplishments include writing and headlining two solo shows ‘Beige Bitch’ and ‘Beauty Queen,’ both of which earned great critical acclaim, some lovely validation and the physical exhaustion of playing multiple characters at rapid speed while still drinking beer after every show. In the midst of writing her next show, Emily is excited to begin rehearsals for "Duck Duck Goose," set to grace the stage at Theatre Works in April with That Production Company.
