"I read the Green Guide today and totally agree with the comments. If you weren't getting off ABC I would switch to NOVA. I saw you today and wanted to tell you how much I am looking forward to getting Red back. Get OFF and STAY OFF. Best wishes Ray"
774 ABC Listener.

Tracy began performing stand-up comedy in 1989 while working in Melbourne in sales and marketing. She'd been sacked and couldn't get another job..... so she gave it a go.

Eighteen years later she's still here. And clearly, from Ray's comments (above) she doesn't please everyone! But she does please plenty of people with her quick wit, honesty, integrity and passion.

How can we say this? Bartram's a bit different.

At 30, she ditched a sales career for the life of a novice comedian.

She did three years of stand up comedy, touring Fringe Festivals, including Perth, where she fell in love with David Missingham, the Technical Director (note to other female comedians: marrying a lighting designer guarantees you'll always look hot on stage...)

She moved to Perth, stormed the Corporate market, and fell into radio.

In 1994 Tracy joined Perth station 94.5FM and, together with Fred Botica, she became part of one of the city's greatest radio double acts.

After three years she was lured back home to Melbourne's FOX FM and co-hosted the breakfast programme with Matthew Tilley. "Tracy and Matt in the Morning" out-rated all other Melbourne FM radio stations for more than six years. Tracy left that show in 2003.

What she does best, is stage work; working live-and-on-her-feet with an audience.

It's official! I am the Queen of Trash! With Tim Smith, Kerry Anne Kennerly and Red Symons, when we all played the Trivia Challenge. My head is full of junk... and they wouldn't even let me keep the crown! Budget cuts at Channel Nine are tough!

Her one woman, self-penned shows include:

In 2005, Tracy spent some time at Melbourne's ABC 774 studios, and loved it.

In 2006, she and Tim Smith teamed up for 'Tracy & Tim for Breakfast' on Mix FM, which ran for two years.

Tracy now happily lives in the Yarra Valley, with husband David, teenaged son Max and her Schnoodle Moby, and travels to Melbourne and beyond for any corporate client.

Tracy Bartram is a total professional, who works hard, calls a spade a shovel, and terrifies phonies. She's at peace with herself and her place in the world.
