Hello, I'm Jodie van de Wetering, a writer and performer leaving a trail of creative mayhem across Central Queensland. I do stand up and improv comedy, create interactive events, write short fiction and poetry, and am usually busy with shenanigans including:

• Rocky Improv Group: for anyone and everyone interested in improvised theatre and comedy.

• Remotely Funny: livestreamed comedy shows featuring comics from rural and regional Queensland

• Arts Central Queensland Inc: a nonprofit umbrella group supporting and celebrating the arts across CQ. I’ve been part of the management committee for a few years, and in November 2020 was elected president.

• Rocky Street Press: independent online arts/lit mag, which publishes (and pays!) artists and writers from rural and regional Australia.

I came to the arts relatively late in life, and finally getting involved in comedy and performance felt like coming home.  That's one of the reasons I'm passionate about creating outlets for other people to get involved in the arts, and supporting local artists to make the most of the opportunities that come our way.
