Who is Maddie Parker?

Maddie Parker is an improviser and improv teacher who has learned, played and taught the form in Sydney, in other parts of Australia and overseas. Among the moments she treasures most are playing New York's Del Close Marathon and taking out the ITS Smackdown at Improv Theatre Sydney as half of the double act The Wine Mums. In 2018 the New Zealand Improv Festival named her best character for her turn as a fiercely feminist captain of a spaceship. At the 2026 ITS Comedy Festival she was among the players in The Teacher's Lounge, alongside Laura Hart, Orya Golgowsky, Josh Magee and Jim Fishwick. [1][2]
