With over 30 years of stage experience, Penny is exceptionally comfortable in front of audiences of all sizes - from intimate community events to crowds of 5,000+. She has been writing and presenting her own shows since founding Daisy Productions in 2002 and has produced and appeared in countless events throughout Perth and regional WA.
