Dear Diary is a story with songs by Kay Proudlove. Kay is a regional NSW performer, writer and composer who has toured worldwide with her live shows, and worked on various music, theatre and dramatic arts projects.

Kay’s new work takes us on a journey through her teenage diaries through a collection of intimate and vulnerable stories and songs. From first kisses, girl power, spice world, and Elijah Wood fan fiction to lost gigs, found memories and frayed friendships, Dear Diary is a hilarious, nostalgic and sometimes painful revisiting of our teenage years, delving into the pressures and expectations of growing up. Through song & beautiful, disarming storytelling Kay moves the narrative deeper into an exploration of the themes of self-esteem, body image and how to love yourself just as you are. For more info see our website.

People who’ve seen Kay Proudlove play her songs know she’s whip-smart, hilarious and with the voice of an angel, but seeing Kay turn her own life into a theatre show I saw the depth she has as a writer and performer, and how much extra talent she’s been hiding in those suitcases.”
- Lindsay McDougall, ABC Illawarra

“Proudlove is the consummate performer, delighting crowds between songs and delivering lyric driven music that is instantly relatable.”
- Gareth Evan, Timber and Steel

“One of those no longer hidden talents . . . If you haven’t heard her yet, this is a gap you need to immediately fill.”
- Chuck Moore, Reviews About
