Melbourne comedian Libbi Gorr returns home and rents out North Bondi: Title Tattle
Libbi Gorr, the former Melbourne comedian then television host, has returned to her hometown as an ABC radio broadcaster.
Her three-bedroom North Bondi house in Sydney’s east has been listed at $1,300 a week rental.
Gorr has returned to Melbourne with her partner, freelance film and television producer Stewart Burchmore, and their two children.
“I have to say, we were becoming deliciously shallow,” she told Melbourne Weekly. “We lived near the beach and that whole beautiful lifestyle, which I will miss terribly. But we realised we should come back to Melbourne to get some couture, get some mental culture.”
So when the opportunity came up to move south, Gorr grabbed the chance to host 774 ABC Melbourne’s new Sunday radio morning program. Gorr, who barracks for Collingwood, attended Methodist Ladies’ College in Kew before graduating in law from the University of Melbourne. Her big break came co-starring with Andrew Denton on the ABC’s sports comedy television program Live and Sweaty, where her satirical character Elle McFeast was born in 1991. She blogs on her website, libbigorr.com.au.
“I’d love to say I’ll be running around the Tan, but I think that’s beyond me. I might do the odd skip of joy, though. I’m looking forward to taking the children on Puffing Billy, again and again and again,” she told Melbourne Weekly.
Her Sydney house, available through Belinda Halliday at Ray White Unlimited North Bondi, cost $1,605,000 in 2007.
