Timeline

Flanagan attended high school at Monte Sant'Angelo Mercy College in North Sydney. She became drawn to comedy in Year 5 when she appeared in a school musical production of Alice In Wonderland in which she dressed as a bunny which pretended to fall asleep during the performance. Flanagan said that "Secretly I always wanted to be an actor, but I knew that I didn’t have the mindset for it." She recalls that as a teenager, she would put on avant-garde performance shows with her younger sister Penny and they would involve their younger brother Michael by dressing him in tutus and giving him dance moves to do.

In March 2018, Flanagan released a book of personal and professional autobiographical stories called Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies.

Flanagan announced her departure from The Weekly With Charlie Pickering during the final episode of season four (2018), but returned for The Yearly with Charlie Pickering special in December 2018.

In August 2018, Flanagan presented a sketch on her "pretend" book called 488 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Idiots, as a joke inspired by Jordan Peterson's book 12 Rules for Life, on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering. This idea inspired a published book in 2019 called 488 Rules for Life: The Thankless Art of Being Correct.

In 2017, Flanagan and her sister Penny contributed as writers for the TV series Drop Dead Weird. Flanagan began an Australian national tour of her fourth standup show named Smashing in the same year.

In February 2015, Flanagan was the third ambassador for the Adelaide Fringe, succeeding singer Katie Noonan and inaugural Adelaide Fringe ambassador and fellow comedian Paul McDermott. She toured Australia with her third stand-up comedy show Seriously? in 2015, with her entourage of two.

Flanagan is an advocate of writing and writers in the screen industry. She sponsored the Best Narrative Award at the 2015 Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival in Gympie and was one of the judges for the film scripts in that category.

Flanagan tailors her comedy material to suit corporate events, galas, award nights and launches. Flanagan has written and presented videos for clients such as Nokia and Subaru. An accomplished Master of ceremonies, Flanagan hosted countless awards nights and provided after-dinner hilarity for companies as diverse as Australia Post and the Australian Pharmaceutical Association. Flanagan was Master of ceremonies at 2015 Art of Music Live which is a music concert held every two years, where a group of Australia’s top visual artists come together to create an original exhibition and each artist chooses an iconic Australian/New Zealand song to inspire an artwork. The work is then auctioned at a gala dinner in the Art Gallery of New South Wales with all proceeds from Art Of Music Live going to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, who transform lives through music.

Flanagan resigned from The Project in August 2014 but stayed for four months to finish the year. Charlie Pickering approached her to join his new TV show, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, where she created the segments "Spectacular Failures of the 21st Century" and "Problem Solver". As the series progressed, Flanagan created two other segments, "Bandwagon Rider" and "Human Barometer".
