Insane In The Men Brain
Tania Lacy
Once the ‘enfant terrible’ of Aussie TV, Tania Lacy soon became ‘enfant unemployable’ for being too mouthy. Fortunately for Tania, women are quite ‘in’ right now and so she’s decided she can be ‘enfant anything she f*cking wants’.
Tania Lacy’s career has been one big adventure. After attending the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts School of Dance she choreographed and danced with Kylie Minogue - by the way, that’s her in the Locomotion clip. After being spotted on pop show (and Aussie TV institution) ‘Countdown’ the producer asked her to audition for a new show. That show was 'The Factory' and it made her a household name. Then came Countdown Revolution with Mark Little, award winning short films, stand-up, she’s an actor, written for film and television and has two novels on the shelves. Tania believes her rather unusual career trajectory has given her a unique view of the world and taught her anything is possible.

Trevor Lock
52:10|Trevor Lock was born in the past in England but now lives in the present all over the world. After being quite naughty at school he studied philosophy at University College London and then disappointed his parents by appearing on cult TV and radio shows in the UK including TMWRNJ, the BAFTA nominated British Comedy Award winning Star Stories and the Russell Brand podcast. He saw the light, abandoned mainstream mass media for the magic and connection of his live comedy events that are a cross between stand up comedy and group therapy. He also coaches communication skills to anyone who'll listen and runs the social experiment Reality Games where people from across the world are set experimental tasks and share their experiences with each other.
