Transistor Sister

Chloe Black hails from Hobart, Tasmania. This is her first Fringe Comedy show in Melbourne and she is excited to take that first step to celebrate her new transgender identity and wants the world to know she is proud, loud and happy to finally find solace with her new self.

Her stories jump from her mother’s uncomfortable unease with her gender transition, through to a personal learning curve with a new breast size. She loves her new role as mother as opposed to fathering her eight- year old son.

She is funny, honest, sharp and sometimes blunt and occasionally reticent and a little awkward.

Black tells us tales of her fifteen years in telemarketing, playing gender havoc with her clients - only hoping to be sacked. She is now at university, enjoying her ‘free time’ and spends time toying with anagrams - created from political jargon that she mindfully turns into quirky comical nonsense - displayed on a monitor for us to view.

Chloe is defiant about her life choices and appears to be enjoying the difference she can make to the world as a new trans-woman. She has a new lease on life and is exercising her personal rights to do as she pleases.
