Frenchy - Embrace The Chaos
Frenchy - Embrace The ChaosLife is chaos. Comedy is chaos. At least the way Frenchy does it… Australia’s favourite scoundrel Frenchy is back with a brand-new stand-up show in which he embraces all the chaos of life, on stage. This is his 10th year doing comedy full time, so he’s written his loosest, darkest show yet. He’s fluffed out his mullet, he’s sharpened up his abs, he’s even showered & he’s ready to tear it up in venues all over the world. Frenchy’s unique brand of comedy ain’t for the faint hearted but that's also what people love about him. He’s decided he can’t be cancelled and does not hold back in this epic new show. Along with his iconic dark jokes, there will also be rogue stories, bizarre riffs and many moments you won’t see coming. Chaos finds him no matter what he tries, so he’s decided to embrace it, and have a bloody good time doing so.

RBG: Of Many, One
RBG: Of Many, One"One of the all-time great performances” - The Sydney Morning Herald After a wildly popular , sold-out performance season in 2022, and a sold-out national tour in 2024, this smash-hit production returns to the stage with the brilliant Heather Mitchell reviving her award-winning 'virtuosic performance’ (The Conversation) of the women who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The second woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was both a trailblazer in the American judiciary and a fierce advocate for gender equality and reproductive rights. Now, her life is being brought to the stage by the extraordinary pen of Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright Suzie Miller (Prima Facie), in a story that chronicles Ginsburg’s wins and dissents, traces her steps forward and the steps back, and brings you right into the room with Ruth at the most pivotal moments of her life. Director Priscilla Jackman reunites with Mitchell to reconjure RBG in this once-in-a-generation theatrical event that is “magnificent from start to finish” (Limelight). Don’t miss your chance to see this sublime production. Image Credit: Heather Mitchell. Photo: Rene Vaile
