Who Frankie McNair is
Frankie McNair is a comedian, actor and screenwriter based in Melbourne whose chaotic mix of stand-up and surreal sketch won Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2022 with Relax Your Knees, a win that took them to London's Soho Theatre. Their show Huge Ass Mindset was nominated for Most Outstanding Show at the 2026 Melbourne festival, and the same year they shared the Sydney Comedy Festival's Best of the Fest award with Reuben Kaye.
On screen they have appeared on Thank God You're Here, the ABC's Question Everything and Aunty Donna's Most Upsetting Guessing Game, and acted in SBS's Safe Home, Netflix's Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe, Foxtel's High Country and the BBC's Return to Paradise. As a writer they made the 2025 mockumentary The Telling of the Untold Story of Tabitha Booth, which won Best Actor at Sydney WebFest and Best Comedy Webseries at Melbourne WebFest.
