Project Brief One – Characters

Kate McLennan
Known as the “Intolerable Foodie” who seems cheerful on screen but has a passive and rather pessimistic side to herself.

On her website bio:
“Kate has appeared in thirteen Melbourne International Comedy Festivals and has performed stand-up comedy throughout Australia and in the UK, US, Hong Kong and Singapore. Most recently Kate toured to India with the Melbourne Comedy Festival where she hosted the Roadshow and RAW Comedy Competition. Kate often works as an MC at comedy nights, family festivals and fundraising events.”

In the series she often makes creepy comments here and there about her life or what she’s dealing with. Often mentioning the fact that she does not know if she wants children or not and her main goal throughout the show is to create food substitutions for McCartney. Despite being rather cheery and overall good natured she is shown to have an angry and aggressive side when she does not get her dose of sugar or if she drinks excessively.

Kate McCartney
Is the “Food Intolerant” she is rather blunt and airy and most of the time seems rather comfortable in her weirdness – she reminds me a lot like Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter… If HP had been a satirical cooking show-.

Bio:
“Her work as a comedy performer and writer has featured in Channel 7 HSV’s Big Bite and Hamish and Andy. She has also appeared in Kath and Kim, The 2011 short film Everyman and the 2012 Hit ABC sci-fi series Outland.”

McCartney’s character, unlike her partner doesn’t really care too much for cooking or food, in fact she probably would live off vodka and alcohol if she really wanted to. The only real episode where she shows slight interest is in the “Food Porn” episode where she doesn’t really have to cook. Ultimately, I feel as though I am staring into a future version of myself when I look at McCartney, who “is predominantly nocturnal and her talons can rip a mouse in half.”
