Emily Joy

Notes

~Valid UK & Australian Passport THEATRE REVIEWS: The Wolves - Theatreworks 2026 "★★★★½" - What's The Show "Soccer Mom (Emily Joy) only appears once to address the girls but it’s an extremely moving scene.." - Jenny Burns "Special mention must go to Emily Joy, whose performance is quietly devastating for anyone who has ever found themselves disoriented by the sudden force of grief." - It's On The House Refined - Melbourne Fringe 2025 "★★★★" - The Age "...Then there is the teacher, Miss, a great performance by Emily Joy..." - Jennifer Beasley, Theatre Matters "It's funny, tragic, achingly vital theatre. High school teachers and talent scouts should all make a beeline for this one." - Cameron Woodhead, The Age Rootless Cosmopolitans - Chapel Off Chapel 2024 "★★★★★" - Theatre Matters "Remember this name: Emily Joy. Joy is a very special actor to watch. Playing two roles that are superbly defined... she ably shifts between unsated wife and decision-wielding corporate woman. In dialogue that could be uncomfortable to watch, she remains completely watchable and, indeed, empathetically likeable." - Will Conyers Trophy Boys - La Mama 2022 "★★★★★" - Theatre Thoughts "Emily Joy effectively brings this character, that everyone knows a version of, to life. We've all met a Jared - a good guy, until he's not. Joy guides us through Jared's character arc smoothly, making his 180 both an anticipated surprise and an inevitability." - You Should See It Melbourne AWARDS & NOMINATIONS: 2025 Melbourne Fringe Festival - Showcase Ready Award ('Refined') - winner 2025 TV Week Logies Awards - Best Miniseries ('Human Error') - nomination 2025 AACTA Awards - Best Miniseries ('Human Error') - nomination 2025 Australia Youth Film Festival Awards - Best Acting Ensemble ('Me, My Ralph & I') - winner 2025 Equity Ensemble Awards - Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Comedy Series ('Fisk' S3)- finalist 2011 Gold Coast Theatre Area Awards - Best Actress in a Leading Role (Beatrice, 'Much Ado About Nothing') - winner 2008 Brisbane Festival - Carol Burns Adjudicator Award for Acting - winner 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival - Class Clowns Stand Up Comedy Competition - QLD state winner
