SUMMARY:Sex\, Lyrebirds and Cassette Tapes – Launching 'Department of the Vanishing'
DESCRIPTION:What’s a sexy syllable? How do lyrebirds seduce a mate? And what happens to cassette tapes when they’re left unplayed for fifty years? Join Jess Ong as she quizzes award-winning author Johanna Bell about her latest book ‘Department of the Vanishing’. \nSet in a time of mass extinction\, ‘Department of the Vanishing’ blends documentary poetry\, archival image\, and narrative verse to explore the vital questions: Can we live in a world without birdsong and is it possible to create a new opus with the fragments left over? \n‘Rare and resplendent. A full-bodied roar at the crimes of extinction and a psalm for the wonder of the living world.’ Jennifer Mills \n ‘A sexy\, compelling and beautifully crafted elegy not only to birds but to feeling itself. The denouement is spectacular; I cheered and wept.’ Angela O’Keeffe \n ‘Simultaneously fragile and furious\, intimate and immense\, Department of the Vanishing is a remarkable achievement.’ James Bradley \n ‘A wild little miracle of a book.’ Beejay Silcox \nTickets include a welcome drink on arrival. \n\nJohanna Bell: Jennifer Pinkerton\nJess Ong: supplied by the ABC (photo attached to this email) \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\n  \nDuration: 30 minutes \nThis event is family friendly \nAccess: \n\nAssistance dogs welcome.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Vinyl Stories: an exploration of sound waves through storytelling and song
DESCRIPTION:Vinyl Stories explores the stories\, interpretations and musical forces that shaped the lives of 3 people of the Territory.\n \nEach performer will select songs on vinyl record that impacted them earlier in life and will share what this meant to them and their story. We will share a listening space with music from vinyl records. \nMelanie Mununggurr is a Djapu mother\, poet\, storyteller and performer\, and the Australian Poetry Slam Champion for her 2018 poem ‘I Run’. \nShalom Kaa is a performer\, director\, singer\, and comedian with roots in a large Māori musical family. \nJohn Rawnsley grew up and has lived between the Centre and Top End of the Territory for his life and will draw on these experiences with a vinyl set as DJ Spinaf-X. \nThe show is for people who appreciate music but also appreciate the deeper forces and interactions that voice\, listening\, hearing\, living and being serves. It will be an appreciation of the connection between the sound waves that a particular song projects and the broader context and worlds we interact. \nImmerse yourself in sensory experiences through story-telling and personal reflection; the sharing of an intimate space and to be present as we share in a collective appreciation and personal insight of a select curation of records. \nWithin each of us is a story and narrative that threads songs\, time and space.\n \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: mention of death and loss \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Who Delulu Think You Are?! ~ 50% SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Ever had a dream so big it felt a little… delulu? \nIn her debut solo show\, Irish-born\, Territory-adopted comedian\, RJ Carey\, takes you on a hilarious and heartfelt journey from the rain-soaked fields of rural Ireland to the sun-scorched landscapes of remote Australia. This is a story about leaving one world behind and building another\, 10\,000 miles from home. \nAs a queer woman getting sober in a city famous for its party scene\, she braced herself to be the odd one out on every single level. Surely\, she’d be the only Irish\, the only sober\, the only queer for a thousand miles\, right? \nWrong. \nThis show hilariously unpacks the moment the universe decides to prove you wrong. From the shock of unexpected connection to the freedom of reinvention\, this is a comedic celebration of every identity you leave behind and every new one you find. Join RJ Carey for an hour of stand-up and storytelling that proves sometimes the maddest dreams lead you right where you belong. \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n  \nDuration: 50 minutes \nContent warnings: Addiction\, Death\, Examples of/ references to homophobia\, Mental illness\, Suicide and/or self harm \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible except for the toilet\, closest wheelchair accessible bathroom is a public toilet within 5 minutes\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Am I Gay Enough?
DESCRIPTION:Off the back of her 2025 award-winning show Fat Girl\, Danielle returns with Am I Gay Enough? A razor-sharp\, laugh-out-loud deep dive into bisexual identity in the modern age. Blending comedic slam poetry with chaotic ukulele confessionals\, she unpacks dating app politics\, performative allyship\, internalised biphobia\, and the ever-nagging question: what if it’s all just a phase? \nWith the same raw honesty and poetic punch that made Fat Girl a standout hit\, Danielle turns her lens toward queerness\, certainty\, and the exhausting pressure to “prove” who you are. It’s vulnerable. It’s biting. It’s camp. And it’s wildly relatable. \nFor anyone who’s ever felt too queer for the straight world\, too straight for the queer world\, or stuck in the messy\, glorious middle — Am I Gay Enough? is your anthem\, your therapy session\, and your existential crisis (with a soundtrack).\nCome for the comedy. Stay for the existential crisis (but make it camp). \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\n  \nDuration: 40 minutes \nContent warnings: Addiction\, Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to homophobia\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Kink shaming\, Mental illness\, Sexual References\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible except for the toilet\, closest wheelchair accessible bathroom is a public toilet within 5 minutes\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Julia Wilson in Namaste Cvnts
DESCRIPTION:One of Australia’s most in-demand comedians is back with a brand-new show. This will sell out. \nThis is an hour of stand up that’s been forged in the fire — years of dodgy gigs\, sticky floors\, and the kind of life lessons you don’t get from a TED Talk. Julia has lived a life that has never fit into polite society. From bouncing punters out the door to hauling freight up the highway\, her path was usually unpredictable and regularly entertaining. She’s been up close with humanity at its weirdest\, turning all that chaos\, rage\, and heart into a brutally honest\, laugh out loud show about growing the hell up — and even liking who you become. \nIt’s the swaggering\, messy\, foul mouthed evolution of a woman who went from high octane burnout to “Namaste Cvnt” — sort of\, she’s found a weird kind of peace in the madness. \nCall it enlightenment with attitude. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 55 minutes \nRecommended for ages: 16+ with adult supervision \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Death\, Examples of/ references to homophobia\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Sexual References\, Strong Language\, Violence \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible except for the toilet\, closest wheelchair accessible bathroom is a public toilet within 5 minutes\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Emotional Support Felon
DESCRIPTION:For over three years\, I unpacked my attachment issues and got deeply attached to my therapist. I went to therapy for healing while she was busy stealing\, then she went to prison for embezzlement. Freud would be disappointed… but probably not surprised. \nEmotional Support Felon is a sharp\, self-deprecating storytelling show about trust\, vulnerability\, and what happens when your safe space is evaded with self doubt. It’s messy\, honest\, and painfully funny. \nThis is a story about learning the hard way to trust the process\, not the person… and still somehow finding a way to laugh about it. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 50 minutes \nContent warnings: Mental illness \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible except for the toilet\, closest wheelchair accessible bathroom is a public toilet within 5 minutes\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Julia Wilson in Namaste Cvnts
DESCRIPTION:One of Australia’s most in-demand comedians is back with a brand-new show. This will sell out. \nThis is an hour of stand up that’s been forged in the fire — years of dodgy gigs\, sticky floors\, and the kind of life lessons you don’t get from a TED Talk. Julia has lived a life that has never fit into polite society. From bouncing punters out the door to hauling freight up the highway\, her path was usually unpredictable and regularly entertaining. She’s been up close with humanity at its weirdest\, turning all that chaos\, rage\, and heart into a brutally honest\, laugh out loud show about growing the hell up — and even liking who you become. \nIt’s the swaggering\, messy\, foul mouthed evolution of a woman who went from high octane burnout to “Namaste Cvnt” — sort of\, she’s found a weird kind of peace in the madness. \nCall it enlightenment with attitude. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 55 minutes \nRecommended for ages: 16+ with adult supervision \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Death\, Examples of/ references to homophobia\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Sexual References\, Strong Language\, Violence \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible except for the toilet\, closest wheelchair accessible bathroom is a public toilet within 5 minutes\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
