Sarah Furtner
Narrowly escaping* a life of domestic servitude, Sarah Furtner is now a Perth-based writer, stand-up comedian and avid social-networker. Sarah can be seen regularly performing around the numerous watering-holes of Perth, and often in other cities around the nation.
When not on a plane, Sarah is often found in or around land and doing very well at inciting laughter in the most stoic of characters. Sarah has been a panellist on West TV’s Sweet and Sour, had her comedy featured on Friday Night Live, and been a subject of SBS’s documentary mY Generation.
Sarah makes an ideal trivia night companion and loves to write unsent letters, cook elaborate pies and make badly photoshopped show posters starring herself in her spare time.
*In this sense, narrowly escaping is used as a synonym for ‘largely avoiding’.

They should update other things in the game too.
