How to get Rich is a show about the search for love, the 23hr flight to get to it, and why it’s important to pre-plan bikini waxes.
Described by Julian Ramundi from The Au Review as “a fun, wonderful take on the modern woman looking for love in a modern world,“ Aleisha and Julia are excited to bring this entertaining story to life at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Two years ago, after a coinkidink meeting on Facebook and a four-month Skype based courtship; Aleisha took a chance – and a plane from Melbourne to London to meet a boy, Richard.  But not having access to each other’s genitals gave them time to really get to know each other. After years of bad shags, dodgy blind dates and being dumped at the altar (5 years before) could she really have met ‘the one’ thanks to Mark Zuckerberg?”

Aleisha and Julia transform The Meeting Room at Trades Hall into the set of the plane that flew Aleisha across the other side of world where she hoped to snag the love of a guy that she’d never actually met.  How many worse case ‘relationship scenarios’ can one girl conjure up during a 23-hour flight?

Written by Aleisha McCormack (with added bits by Julia Zemiro, after a couple of coffees).

“Never has a long haul flight been so entertaining, the audience was continuously thrown into raucous fits of laughter and completely absorbed by the genuine character of Aleisha.”  Aimee McNamara (Black Sheep Blog) Sydney Fringe
