Gerry Connolly is an accomplished Australian comedian, actor, impressionist and pianist best known for his satirical caricatures of public figures.
Gerry Connolly is in demand here and abroad for one-off appearances in character: launching a train, enlivening a corporate dinner, or opening an envelope. He peppers these vignettes with witty observations and real-time conversations with his disbelieving audience.
He has meddled in television since The Gerry Connolly Show in 1988 via Fast Forward to play eccentric Headmaster Griffin in ABC’s Dead Gorgeous. Along the way, Connolly has surprised the likes of Bert Newton, Molly Meldrum and Brian Henderson in celebrity roasts, and guested on Kath and Kim 2 as Merrill Streep (no relation).
Connolly has appeared in productions for the Melbourne Theatre Company including Cyrano de Bergerac, Tomfoolery, Urinetown, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Lady Windermere’s Fan and Little Murders; the Sydney Theatre Company (Summer Rain and Once in a Lifetime); Queensland Theatre Company (The Marriage of Figaro) and Essgee Productions (The Pirates of Penzance).
Ten years ago Gerry ran away with the circus in the form of La Clique in the first instance, and subsequently La Soiree. Incarnations in The Famous Spiegeltent and theatrical venues have taken him from Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin, Brisbane, Hobart, Auckland, London, Blackpool, Edinburgh and Paris.
Anything Goes sees his return to the Frost fold since his hilarious portrayal of Marcus Lycus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
