Working variously as a broadcaster, novelist, columnist, agitator and television entertainer, Rachel Berger’s material encompasses contemporary lifestyles, offering a hilarious and poignant expose of human foibles. There are no cows too sacred for Berger, who provides a distinctive voice for women’s opinions and viewpoints. Her story is one of triumph, success and resilience, a story that makes you believe in the strength of the human spirit and the power of laughter to overcome the most grueling circumstances.

Rachel believes that humour is a powerful tool to to communicate potent messages. In recent years she has hosted a public forum on Climate Change with world-leading Climate Change expert Stephen Schneider, written and performed in Diversity Works, created an educational training DVD for the Council for Equal Opportunity in Employment and was a special guest performer at the Positive Living Expo for Women with the aim of reducing the harms associated with gambling.
