Short Skirts is made up of three female Australian comics, who met in Melbourne, Australia.

Halley Metcalfe has performed regularly at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival.  This year, her 2009 show was entitled My Two Cents, a stand-up show about respecting and laughing with the elderly.  Easy-going and effervescent, Melbourne newspaper The Age described Halley, "Metcalfe's greatest strength is her easy relationship with the audience. She's instantly likeable."

Shannon Woodford is a Raw Comedy 2009 Competition National Finalist, which was recorded for national television.  Shannon performs as different characters.  Her character as the quirky, nervous, some may say “loser” girl, won her her place in the finals of Raw Comedy at The Melbourne Town Hall.  Shannon is also a singer, and has previously performed at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival in her cabaret show.

Marie Connolly is new to comedy, although she is the oldest of the three comediennes.  She dabbled in comedy many years ago in London before running off to France to learn how to ski, before finally surrendering to her fear of heights and speed.  Marie is a Raw Comedy 2009 Competition State Finalist.  Marie also performed in The Melbourne 2009 International Comedy Festival as MC for a show entitled, Bollocks Without Borders.  She’s charming and irresistible, even she says so herself. 

The girls have decided to join forces and come to Edinburgh as Short Skirts.  They will showcase their very different styles and skills in a 40 minute fun and friendly showcase where each comic will have 12 minutes each, to have some fun, and make people laugh.
