Frida Deguise

Donut mogul, chef, fashion icon and comedian, Frida DeGuise is the quintessential Australian comedian; in a scarf. A self-proclaimed ‘Wogan’ (part ‘wog’ – part bogan), this 5ft7 Australian-born, Lebanese Muslim makes up in heart what she lacks in height. She’s gregarious, hilarious and driven by a comedic tenacity and ambition rarely seen in this country. And it’s this absolute passion for comedy that makes Frida such a joy to watch. One of the few Muslim comedians in Australia this unique, mother-of-four is creating huge waves in the comedy industry and smashing racial stereotypes and cultural divides in the process. Recently, she’s featured on such prestigious shows as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and Nazeem Hussain’s Stand Up for Christchurch and is a regular fixture in iconic comedy clubs across the country. Frida has amassed over 54,000 on Instagram and TikTok sharing her passion for food, of course with that comedic charm.
