Alli Butler leaves her day job as the Sydney Opera House nurse, where she tends to the headaches, depressed rants and ingrown toenails of international superstars, because she decides being a celeb seems the more attractive side of the arrangement. So waving her sphygmomanometer goodbye, Alli embarks on the perilous, hilarious and somewhat fraught road to the mecca of mega-pop-stardom. Never mind being 40. Never mind she refuses to do botox (this week). And never mind she's going to launch this new career from the tiny outback town where she was born, and where her typical audience consists of sheep, cows and canola. It is OK though because animals and plants love her pop music. But people like it even better she finds, so she takes a show on tour, calls it 40 Year old Pop star, and enlists audiences to help in her quest to prove that 40 is the new 20.
