Tegan Higginbotham spent ten years writing a show about killer garden gnomes and then had to audition for her own lead role. Today she sits down with Sam and Sarah to talk about the joy of writing funny, flawed women, why she walked away from stand up comedy for eight years and what finally brought her back. Tegan also shares why she believes in the beauty of humanity even when the news has her spiralling, why young people have every right to be angry and why that gives her hope.
