Roll up! Roll up! Summer wouldn’t be the same in Bruns without a big Cheeky season, so they’re back, with a new cast.

The reputation of the Cheeky genre-bending show has spread like wildfire with its weird and fabulous lineup – it’s without question the wildest night you’ll have in the Northern Rivers!

The Cheeky Cabaret has redefined a night out at the theatre, smashing together circus, vaudeville, comedy, new burlesque and everything in between. Its reputation is firmly established in the Byron Shire, selling out every season and attracting international artists who would ordinarily play much bigger stages.

The Cheeky shows feature a different cast of troubadours, miscreants, delectable divas and cabaret queens every season, so no two shows are ever the same. You’ll leave spellbound, titillated and amazed. Think you’ve seen it all? Think again…

Following the Cheeky season is some incredible live music, including Ella Hooper: Small Town Temple tour, Libby O’Donovan – cabaret singer extraordinaire, Stella Donnelly: Flood Australian tour, Liz Stringer and William Crighton co-headlining in a powerhouse performance, and the house is thrilled to announce the fabulous Tim Rogers & The Twin Set coming in April.

Then, brace yourself for the hilarious award-winning NZ comic, Melanie Bracewell, in her live show OOH LA LA and the rising star of Australian comedy, Nazeem Hussain, in Hussain That?
