North Richmond actor Lisa Robinson making a splash in Sydney Fringe Festival

Lisa starts the festival in the Company of Rogues production of the award-winning all-female coming-of-age comedy Gravity Guts (September 10-14).

She'll also be featuring in the feminist adventure Trojan Barbie (September 16-21), and the hilarious comedy show Shaz and Tina: Waiting for Uber.

Lisa is an exciting emerging artist who spent years studying acting at various institutions including NIDA.

With three back-to-back shows in the Fringe, she agrees she might've bitten off a fair chunk, but she said she couldn't resist playing three great characters.

"I'm hoping I'm going to survive, I've got so many rehearsals!" she laughed.

"But I'm looking forward to it. It will be a challenge but also something really cool."

Lisa has been acting for 15 years. She's completed a bachelor at Excelsior College (formerly Wesley Institute), a screen actor course at NIDA in Sydney, and a professional program at The Acting Corps in LA.

At 33 years old, she's decided it's time to stop taking courses and "really put myself out there".

"I have an agent now and it's really fun," she said.

This will be her first year appearing in Sydney's Fringe festival, and said the three productions had "all fallen into place" for her.

"I've probably over-committed!" she laughed. "I'm struggling with sleep and stuff, but the characters are all really cool so it was too hard to say no to any of them. I'll never know if I don't try, right?"

Lisa works with people with disabilities in Parramatta and, as a recent addition to the Hawkesbury community having moved to North Richmond earlier this year, she's hoping to get work in her field that side of the Richmond bridge.

"The area out here is really beautiful. If I can work out here and stay in the area that would be great," she said.

One of her shows, Shaz and Tina, came about through improvising with a fellow actor friend.

"We wear wigs and we're really Aussie women talking about life and love and a lot of other funny things," she said.

"I just love comedy and improvisation. A lot of the Shaz and Tina stuff we do comes from improvisation and then if it works we write it into the script.

"We had two wigs at my comedy partner's house and we put them on and tried doing a scene. I asked if we could swap wigs and we did. Then I go 'Hi, I'm Shaz', and she goes 'Hi, I'm Tina', and then the rest came from there. It was really cool. We make ourselves laugh - and we make others laugh - and we have a lot of fun."
