Lynda Jane Wiseman Gibson, affectionately known as Gibbo, was a talented and accomplished Australian comedian and actress, whose remarkable life was tragically cut short at the tender age of forty-seven.
On the somber date of 2 January 2004, Gibson succumbed to her four-year-long battle with ovarian cancer, leaving behind a legacy that would continue to inspire and entertain audiences for years to come.
In a touching tribute to her memory, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival introduced the prestigious "Golden Gibbo Award" in recognition of Gibson's outstanding contributions to the world of comedy.
Furthermore, in 2007, Gibson was posthumously inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, a testament to her remarkable achievements and the profound impact she had on the lives of those around her.
