American comedian and writer Melissa McGlensey has done a deep dive into the life and times of the newly elected Governor of Arkansas, and now invites audiences to the presser of all pressers.
Starring McGlensey as Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 'The Briefing' at Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) is a wild ride of partisan nonsense, dark humour and political absurdity that takes aim at the USA, only to catch Australia in its crosshairs as well.
You've never experienced a presser like this before.
Here, Melissa lists the five most absurd things Sarah Huckabee Sanders has (quite literally) said and done. . . And why that means you should see 'The Briefing' at the MICF.
