VIDEO: The Pursuit Of Happiness | Fiona McLoughlin
The Pursuit Of Happiness - Transcript
EDDIE PERFECT, PRESENTER: Hi. I’m Eddie Perfect. Tonight’s show is all about fellow comic and great friend Fiona O'Loughlin. Fiona is a fearlessly courageous comedian: a real truth teller. She sees truth as being like that burning pot on the stove that you just can’t help but pick up with your bare hands, even though you know it’s going to hurt. She’s so courageous on stage, confronting some of her own personal demons very publicly, as you’ll see in tonight’s program. So this is her story.
(Footage of Fiona backstage, applying make-up before a performance)
FIONA O'LOUGHLIN: This is the loneliest part of the whole career. Like, everything... I dread this more than anything. I just don’t know why this bit horrifies me so much.
LAWRENCE MOONEY, FRIEND AND COMEDIAN: When you look at Fiona’s story, it is an extraordinary story.
FIONA O'LOUGHLIN (holding up a pair of high-heeled shoes): And the real pain begins. (Laughs)
LAWRENCE MOONEY, FRIEND AND COMEDIAN: She comes from Alice

Daughter of one of Australia's most famous comedians claims her stand-up gig was cancelled because she makes jokes about trans people: 'Fighting for you, ladies'
A female comedian has claimed her upcoming gig at a pub has been canned because of her controversial views and jokes about gender and trans people.
Biddy O'Loughlin was due to perform at the Cranker Comedy show on October 15 at the Crown & Anchor Hotel in Adelaide.
But the stand-up performer, whose mother is famed comedian Fiona O'Loughlin, has since been kicked off the line-up following a complaint made by a pub staff member.
It's understood the complaint was made regarding Ms O'Loughlin's comedy material and social media presence which often centres around those who identify as transgender.
'I know some of the bartenders see me as a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) but I don't consider myself a feminist,' she told The Advertiser.
She added she'd signed a petition for the pub when it was facing being turned into student housing, saying she 'loved' the venue.
