w
ith the rise of funny ladies like
Anna Kendrick, J-Law and
Lena Dunham, and all those
hilare sitcoms popping up
on Netflix, it’s about time we
had a breakout Aussie act taking on the comedy world. Cue:
SketchSHE, whose YouTube vids and Insta posts have us
cry-laughing on a semi-regular basis. We talked to the trio- that’s Shae-Lee, Lana and Madison – about ice-breakers,
celeb cameos and what it takes to crush it on YouTube.
Hey guys! What brought you together, and was it love

Two of us (Lana and Shae) met while doing a promo job in
Sydney, and bonded over our similar sense of humour and
shared love for comedy. We started shooting sketches on
weekends, roping in as many friends and extras as possible
and ultimately putting together the beginning of a sketch
show. Then Mads joined us and SketchSHE was born!:KDWVXEMHFWQHYHUIDLOVWRPDNHDIXQQ\VNHWFK"

We think it’s important for society to accept and support
the fact that women can be equally (if not more) funny than
men. There was a time where female comedians were almost
non-existent, but that has changed hugely in the past few
years with more females not only dominating in comedy
but also at directing and producing! Girl power!You’re trying to talk to a guy and you need a joke or

The ‘running man’ goes down well on the d-floor. As for
jokes, “How do you make an egg laugh? Tell it a yolk...”

Be yourself – online it’s all about authenticity! On YouTube
especially, people really want to see who you are. On
Facebook it’s about sharp sharable videos, the more people
