Rachael Hornbuckle

Skin Deep and Meaningful

Rachael Hornbuckle, 2023 RAW Comedy State Finalist and 2025 Comedy Zoner, makes her solo debut by ripping the bandage off our obsession with hiding imperfections. A registered nurse who’s worked inside the industry, she digs into the beauty world from within, sheds light on it and uncovers the delusions we buy into.

Skin Deep and Meaningful explores self-worth, vanity, beauty, chaos and comebacks. A show about smoothing out the flaws we can’t hide.

'An undeniable stand-out from last year’s Comedy Zone, Hornbuckle couples an absorbing stage presence with politically charged quips to lustrous effect. Her final joke might just be the best one-liner at this year’s festival.' Funny Toone
