Then, she went on to work as a support act for Puppetry of the Penis 2001 & 2003. Soon she was filling in for the breakfast crew on Adelaide’s MMM Radio. Then she took on the blousy role of Caprice Cerise in the Aussie feature movie The Honourable Wally Norman directed by Ted Emery of Kath and Kim fame. She showed up next in Macleod’s Daughters where she played Constance, a lovely rural woman with a penchant for a tipple and a bawdy eye. Emily launch her first solo show “LifeSpam” as part of the 2007 Melbourne Fringe and in 2010 she trotted out her sell out show “HOW I MADE MY ARSE LOOK SMALLER SIMPLY BY PULLING MY HEAD OUT OF IT”.
