Brand Endorsements
She has endorsed or promoted several brands such as Georgia Elliott Sleepwear.
She has disclosed that she had always wanted to perform on stage. As a child, she would make her parents sit down every single night to see her latest piece of theatre. She had, however, never imagined that one day she would actually be having fun with them laughing at her.
While growing up, Tegan saw herself as the fictional lead character Ellen Louise Ripley, of the Alien movie series and so it came to her naturally to be punching people as a side hobby. It was the comedian aspect of her career that she had never considered.
Her first love had been acting until she discovered comedy when she was in her late teens, having gone on to perform her first comedy gig when she was 17 years old.
Higginbotham has participated in every Melbourne International Comedy Festival ever since she became a national finalist at the festival’s comedy competition named Class Clowns held in 2005.
She has affirmed that she has felt blessed to have been a part of the MICF for many reasons. She has relished the laughter, both from the audience and from herself as she has watched her co-performer attempt to keep a straight face every night. Tegan has had the warmest and most special feeling to see others in splits, enjoying what she has written. She has cherished meeting new people and gorging on pizza at 1 am on Swanston Street.
Higginbotham has been organic rather than disciplined and following a routine. She has revealed that she has never had a set style when writing for a show. When she had experienced boxing, she had simply taken note of what happened. However, her solo comedy show Touched By Fev (2013) involved a lot of research for the first time, delving a little more into personal stories.
Tegan has loved sports and sci-fi and has proclaimed herself to be a serious nerd at heart.
