Interview With The Pluck’s Caitlin Crowley on Happiness

As a kid I used to love going to parties. There was a lot of depression, sadness and blackness at my house; lots of Catholic guilt. My father was an alcoholic and my mother had a lot to deal with. I was fairly emotionally sensitive and used to pick up on all the negative energy in the house. When I went to other people’s houses I felt very free because I wasn’t around all of that emotional pollution. One of the things I really loved was the lolly bag; the lolly bag represented the great memories and moments of the party that I could take home.
At Holy Name in Preston we had a very funky choir called Credo. Sitting in church was such a frustrating experience, it was boring. But I loved singing in the choir; it was great to have a voice in that very male medieval place.

COMEDIAN Catherine Deveny has taken another swipe at management of her former employer The Age, saying they sacked her because they were jealous of her high profile.
“I was never sacked for what I said on Twitter,” Deveny told a Melbourne Writers Festival audience.
She added senior management were “furious” at the attention she was attracting on radio, in comments on The Age’s website and in appearances on programs such as ABC1’s Q&A, which “they see as yardsticks of their success”.

What was your first job in media?
Full-time gag writer for Tonight Live With Steve Vizard when I was 23, after only a few months of doing stand-up. I would love to say I was headhunted but I was vagina hunted. They wanted a female. I was the closest thing. And the cheapest.
