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. In 2026 Frankie will be touring Australia with their brand new show HUGE ASS MINDSET (be the ass you want to see in the world)!

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 and Aunty 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. Currently they are getting ready to release their independent game-show Make It ‘Til You Make It (a competitive craft gameshow where serenity goes to die), which will debut on Humdinger’s YouTube channel in 2026.

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