Ironically, Roisin Conaty was officially anointed darling of last year’s Edinburgh Fringe with her self-deprecating, highly conversational lark on achieving very little and basing 80 per cent of her life decisions on astrology. Here’s how it went:
Roisin, age 31, was asked to talk to the new graduates at her convent school.

Roisin Conaty performs Hero, Warrior, Fireman, Liar at Melbourne Town Hall’s Cloak Room from March 31 – April 24. It’s at 8.15pm Tuesday – Saturday and at 7.15pm on Sundays. Tickets are $21 – $29.50 and available through Ticketmaster online, 1300 660 013 and at the door.
