Frankie McNair (she/they) is an award-winning comedian, actor, screenwriter, and self-described kind hearted himbo based in Naarm/Melbourne. 

Frankie debuted by winning Best Newcomer at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival with their chaotic mix of stand-up, surreal sketch, and queer excellence, earning them an international debut at London’s SOHO Theatre. Their follow-up show, An Intimate Evening with Tabitha Booth, was a critical hit, praised for its writing and full-throttle character performance. Frankie’s most recent standup show HUGE ASS MINDSET was nominated for Most Outstanding Show at the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and picked up by SOHO Theatre who will be producing their 2026 debut Edinburgh Fringe run.

Since then they’ve featured on Channel 10’s Thank God You’re Here, ABC’s Question Everything, Just For Laughs Sydney Comedy Showcase, The Upfront Comedy Gala andAunty Donna’s Most Upsetting Guessing Game.

As an actor Frankie has appeared in the award winning SBS drama series “Safe Home”, Netflix’s “Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe”, Foxtel’s “High Country”, and the BBC show “Return To Paradise”. 

As a writer, they’ve received Screen Australia funding and accolades including runner-up in the SONY Catchlight Film Festival. In 2025, their independent mockumentary The Telling of the Untold Story of Tabitha Booth premiered on Grouse House and won awards for ‘Best Actor’ at Sydney WebFest 2025 and ‘Best Comedy Webseries’ at Melbourne WebFest 2025. They also released the first season of their independent game-show Make It ‘Til You Make It (a competitive craft gameshow where serenity goes to die), on the Humdinger YouTube channel.

Frankie makes work that is incredibly silly, driven by a love of chaos and earnest desire to uplift fellow lil freaks.
