Berger was born in Haifa, Israel to Polish Jewish parents and emigrated to Melbourne at the age of five. She is a "performer who delivers rapid-fire lines with assertive and acerbic virtuosity"[1] who has made her name as a stand-up comedian, staging "confronting and politically incorrect" productions including Perfect, Clenched Buttocks, Loose Cannon, The She Comic, Comedy Siren and Berger Republic.[2] In 2008 Berger wrote and performed Hold the Pickle. A major departure from her previous work, Hold the Pickle is a monologue that traces her parents' flight from Nazi-occupied Poland to Israel during the Second World War to running a delicatessen in Acland Street, St Kilda, a Melbourne suburb.[3] In 2008, Hold the Pickle was nominated for three Green Room awards:
In 2010, Berger was cast as Cora in the Australian Production of Calendar Girls,[4] which toured for four months. She also toured Hold the Pickle throughout regional Victoria. Berger is the author of Whaddya Mean You're Allergic to Rubber? (Penguin Books, 2001) and regularly co-hosts The Conversation Hour with Jon Faine on Radio 774 ABC in Melbourne. She is the sister of Dr Yossi Berger, a Melbourne psychologist specialising in occupational health and safety.
