George McEncroe
Stand up Comedian/Writer/Broadcaster
George McEncroe came late to her career in media and comedy, and is able to deal with serious issues sensitively, finding humor often in the darkest of circumstances.
“George is a gifted storyteller the audience can relate to… Her direct manner is unexpected, but quickly appreciated. She puts you at ease right until the point your jaw drops.”Crikey News
Described by friends as “Geraldine Doogue meets Roseanne Barr”, George has had an interesting life journey from which she draws her viewpoints, including working for a War Crimes Tribunal, caring for teenage boys with muscular dystrophy, being a mother of four, and teaching English in Istanbul.
George has been part of successful breakfast radio teams on Triple M in Brisbane and Mix FM in Melbourne, she has made guest appearances on both radio and television, including Spicks and Specks, Insight, The Circle, Mick Molloy’s The Nation, Tony Martin’s Get This on Triple M, and on 774 ABC, MTR, 3AW and Radio National.
George has written for The Age, The Australian, Women’s Health, The Big Issue and numerous TV shows. She has edited a collection of stories Listening to The Silences: Women and War, and also written about slow trips and excursions with kids in the book The Slow Guide to Melbourne.
