Testing, Testing. One, Two

Testing, Testing. One, Two

Age restrictions apply, see About for more details

A cabaret experiment, brought to you by the artists behind Yana Alana and Fu*k Fabulous.

Sarah Ward and Bec Matthews bring you a mash-up of original songs and video art in a conspiracy of true experiment. Queering cabaret and disrupting expectations, this is a work that investigates the instability of being an independent artist in a hetero-patriarchal, capitalist society.

‘Testing, Testing. One, Two’ is experimental material, two queers and a nightmarish, musical dream-scape of 90’s dance with some Barbara Streisand. Post sequins, this is cabaret without any of the gloss.

Expect a close-up, matt portrait of stark realism, witty skepticism and a mere slither of hope.

Event warnings: This event contains some nudity, moderate coarse language and sudden/sustained loud noises.

Drag and burlesque at its very best!

Taking to the trial stand, fighting for justice and liberty, Karen From Finance presents DOING TIME.

Karen is headed for the lock-up, and her co-workers Frank-the-CEO and Amanda-from-Reception could not be happier – the way they jeer is down-right criminal! Will Karen From Finance prove her innocence? Will she walk free? Perhaps our favourite straighty-180 accountant isn’t so innocent after all…

A follow-up to her award-winning debut stage tour, Out Of Office – Karen From Finance’s hilarious new one-woman show again brings her distinct approach to drag, incredible wit and a whole lot more drama for our favourite ‘corporate’ queen.

Heave ho (and hoes!) ‘tward the queer party cruise of a lifetime on the almighty Spirit of Tasmania.

All aboard you gaslighting girl bosses to the cruise that defines the spirit of the seas!

For all those who wish to feel the salt in their eyes, wind on their tits and semi-stale fish fingers in their gob, this is a ship that does not discriminate. The prosecco is warm, the mattresses are Cruskits and the arancini’s are a god damn gobstopper, but hey, your wristband’s tight, your g-strings tighter, your car’s on a boat!! (incredible!!!) and you’re smellin’ like a coconut’s armpit all the way from Port Melbourne to Devonport.

Join Mel & Sam for this two-night-only spectacular of their middle child show set on the almighty Spirit of Tasmania that comes between their highly acclaimed smash-hit shows ‘No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret’ and ‘High Pony’.

Featuring a smorgasbord of sketches and an all-original soundtrack with songs including: ‘Me n’ My Wonky Tit’, ’Ships Are Hot’, ‘Depop Piss Pot’ and ‘Lifeboats Are For Women and Children (sha la la la)’, this show is bound to be the longest ‘yeah buoyyyyyy’ in history.

Bon voyage, bitches. It’s time to play fucken’ mermaids.
