Deveny has written extensively for television and performs regularly on radio and television including The 7PM Project, Q&A and is a popular fill in broadcaster on 774 ABC Melbourne.

She is considered one of the most gifted, versatile and prolific writers in Australia. Her voice ranges from polemic to compassionate, stand up to sermon and from cultural terrorist to cultural therapist. She is also a highly regarded consultant in social networking and cultural trending.

Collections of Deveny’s column It’s Not My Fault They Print Them (2007), Say When (2008) and Free To A Good Home (2009) are published by Black Inc.

Catherine Deveny has been named in the Top 100 Most Influential Melbournians. She is an atheist and a dyslexic. Her charity and community work includes Grief line, Asylum Seeker's Resource Centre and Broken Rites. She is a proud ambassador for Dying With Dignity Victoria  and International Day of People with Disability.

Deveny opened the  2010 Global Atheist Convention Melbourne with Richard Dawkins. Her 2010 Melbourne Comedy Festival one woman show God Is Bullshit; That’s The Good News sold out.

Raised in Reservoir and currently living in The People’s Republic Of Moreland she is the mother to three little boys aged 7, 8 and 12.

 

Clare Bowditch is a well-loved songwriter, writer, comic, and social commentator. Sometimes, she also gets to spend whole months travelling in private jets with people like Leonard Cohen (which was as awesome as it sounds). And earlier this year, Rolling Stone crowned her Best Female for her contribution to culture. 

In 2010 Clare released her first Top Ten album, Modern Day Addiction. Clare was also nominated for three ARIA Awards, elected to the Music Victoria Board, was the first Q & A panellist to ever perform a song, and was invited, for unknown reasons, to spend an hour interviewing Prime Minister Gillard, the week before the 2010 election.

In 2010 Clare contributed articles to The Drum, Wheeler Centre Daily, Rolling Stone and co-wrote her first piece for theatre with Jim MacPherson; Tales From The Life Of Eva – The Eva Cassidy Story.

Clare is a mother of three young children who, along with her slashie husband Marty Brown has toured the world playing and recording music. (What were they thinking?)
