Alayne never forgets an insult. In fact she wrote a whole show about it. 

Come see Alayne's comedy show about growing up queer in rural New Zealand, reading fanfiction on dial-up internet, being a walking stereotype (a librarian with terrible eyesight who is very hot) and finally, becoming a Bunnings gay. 

This show debuted as part of the NZ International Comedy Festival and sold-out before it opened. People from high school came and Alayne didn't even feel weird about it. The show’s had great seasons at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Alayne’s stoked to finally bring it to Sydney!
