A cherished regular on numerous hit TV shows including The Gala, Spicks and Specks and Thank God You’re Here, her honest, caring and fun-loving nature saw her reach the top 5 on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. With stand-up specials available on platforms such as Paramount+ and ABC, and an AACTA Award nomination along the way, Geraldine is a feel-good, masterful storyteller who holds audiences in the palm of her hand.
