Kitty Flanagan is an Australian comedian, writer and actor who works in Australia and the United Kingdom. She has also performed in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.
Flanagan attended high school at Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College in North Sydney. Flanagan got addicted to the laughs of comedy when she was in Year 5 at a school musical production of Alice In Wonderland, where she received plenty of laughs dressed up as a bunny who pretended to fall asleep during the performance. Flanagan says she "was an attention seeker from a young age and secretly wanted to be an actor, but knew she did not have the mindset for the training". Flanagan recalls that as a teenager, she would put on avant-garde performance shows with her younger sister Penny and they would involve their younger brother Michael by dressing him in tutus and giving him dance moves to do.
Kitty Flanagan is best known in Australia for her work on various television programmes including Full Frontal, The Project, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Utopia and in the United Kingdom for her work on The Sketch Show.
At the age of 21, Flanagan road-tripped around Australia and liked Western Australia so much that she moved there and lived in Cottesloe for a couple of years then lived in Bunbury and Geraldton. Flanagan read news and weather at a country radio station, waited tables and lasted only three weeks cleaning and packing crayfish in a Geraldton crayfish factory before she resigned. Flanagan trained and worked as a PE teacher briefly before beginning a job in advertising.
