Annabel Crabb Instagram – Massive thanks to the team keeping me on the road for @melbcomedyfestival this week at the @capitoltheatresydney … Instagram is not a very realistic medium and neither is a comedy show (although there are some sad bits in mine) – I am a very chatty person but for about six months now have been suffering from something called muscle tension dysphonia which strains my voice and is quite hurty. It is related to me using my face too much and not breathing properly and having a few sad things happen …. Anyway huge thanks to Polly from @performancemed who – along with Annie and Letitia and others have time back together and back on the road with the truly miraculous and strange sounding art of laryngeal massage. From them and the rest of my team of otolaryngological supporters I have learned so much about the voice. And Polly yesterday trussed me up like a Christmas goose and I just thought I would advise because it’s not always clear in a show that there are major supports in place, some in surgical strength tape form, some in family form, some in producer form (thank you @laurenannhillman, you are the actual greatest) and also the whole @chat10looks3 team and @glamgwenblake who designed a tea towel based on the most embarrassing details of my life. Come to the merch stand and grab a tea towel from my kids who will probably tell you the stuff that was too actionable to make it to the towel. Show starts at 8.30pm, here til Sunday night xx
