Also in 2014, Fraser spoke at a Tedx event at Macquarie University.[3]

Trilogy
In 2015 Alice began touring 'Savage', the first part of what she describes as a "unorthodox art-comedy morality tale trilogy" [5] which focuses on her upbringing and its impact on her life. The trilogy was completed by 'The Resistance' in 2016 and 'Empire' in 2017. Each instalment of the trilogy was toured nationally and performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Reviewing 'Empire', The Herald Sun called it a "beautifully word-rich performance" and that Alice's "interesting conversation makes her the perfect dinner guest - and comedian".[6]
