Higginbotham presents an endearing tale of blind ambition, laying bare her first ever brush with pro-boxing. Citing Higginbotham’s slight frame and eminent warmth, few would suppose her interest in the sport, let alone her merits as a competitor.

Higginbotham herself even stoops to address the fact that she’s no raging bull. But then that’s why Million Dollar Tegan works so well: it’s an underdog story. It’s a show of candid trepidation, with Higginbotham’s honesty ensuring an intimate one-to-one vibe with her audience. It’s easy to empathise with the peaks and troughs of Higginbotham’s journey, from her gym’s sickening training regimes to her first bout nerves.

Of course, Million Dollar Tegan is charged with an abundance of hearty laughs, Higginbotham’s comedy seamless and self-assured. Fittingly, her comedic repertoire mirrors the skill-set of your average boxer. Higginbotham, astutely aware of her affable presence, is sure to land light jabs of blue humour to keep proceedings fresh and surprising. Her playful endeavour to test the level, as well an apparent love for pop culture, help to enrich an already amusing and engaging narrative. Her avenues towards laughs are many and varied, making for a consistently entertaining hour of comedy.
