About Noelle

If you don’t count constantly vying for attention as the middle of three spirited children, Noelle Towler has been performing improvised theatre and comedy in Meanjin (Brisbane) for 8+ years.A fierce feminist, human rights activist, matriarch, daughter and sister, Noelle speaks and writes with conviction, passion and authenticity in her advocacy for others.On stage, Noelle delivers her message of strength in vulnerability through fast-paced comedic styles and slower, organic, narrative styles. She thrives when underpinned by a melody and exploring complex themes.The breadth and agility in her style has seen her perform regularly as a cast member with Big Fork Theatre, Improv Queensland, Pigasus Productions, Edge Improv and more.Noelle is the Creative Director of Oh, Artemis! Theatre Collective, a performance ensemble consciously centreing women’s stories and encourage women everywhere to unapologetically take up space. She is also the co-founder of Little Spoons, a Big Forker Theatre initiative for disabled and chronically ill performers, and directs the group's regular show, Diagnonsense.Noelle has performed on local and international stages since 2019 including New Zealand Improv Festival (2019, 2023, 2025), Brisbane Improv Festival (2021–2025) and Anywhere Festival (2021, 2022, 2024, 2025).Her debut into Directing and Producing theatre came in 2023 when she had a wild idea about creating a feminist love letter to the way women absorb, carry and wear the labels that are painted on us throughout our lives. Using real life journal entries as a jumping off point for a one hour improvised show, Noelle crafted a theater experience in Hysterical that has been touted as “voyeristic”, “hopeful” and “a bold, heartbreaking, heartwarming and truthful reflection of women’s lives now.”Noelle is a writer and (mostly unpublished) poet, turning to writing as a creative outlet whenever a stage is not in reach. Under the banner of Oh, Artemis!, Noelle writes and performs scripted sketch comedy and slam poetry.When she’s not squeezing as much joy as she can out of improv, sketch and slam, Noelle can be found facilitating workshops and fostering creativity and innovation in corporate teams as a strategy consultant.
