“Roxie Halley finds an authenticity that allows these characters to be something deeper than merely a laughing point.”
My Melbourne Arts
Hi, I’m Roxie. I’m fascinated by people; it’s what defines me as a storyteller. By listening to people in a way that helps them feel safe and special, you can draw out all the surprising, raw, unique details that bring stories to life.
I’m a comedian; I believe that there’s a power in humour to disarm, engage, and entertain in a way nothing else can. Whether I’m working with scripts, actors, or creative briefs, I’m always mining for quirks and nuances that will surprise and delight.
I’m a collaborator; my happy place is on set with the entire cast and crew, gathered around the monitor, stifling giggles, creating like kids in a sandpit. I know I’ve done my job when everyone leaves set feeling valued, accomplished, and like they’ve been an important part of building something we’re proud of.
