Jenny Wynter brings her newest spontaneity-infused musical comedy show to the Northern Rivers.

‘Jenny is so funny I hope she quits’ – Akmal

International award-winning ‘songbird and improvisational queen’ Jenny Wynter brings her newest spontaneity-infused musical comedy show BYO Love Stories to the Northern Rivers region from 10–13 January.

‘I’m a shameless pop music tart,’ says Jenny, ‘and it was upon re-reading my teenage diary entries that I realised how so many of my early experiences with love read just like pop song lyrics. Obsessions with bad boys, inappropriate crushes, naive love ideals… it’s all pop music – and comedy – gold.’

Described as ‘a pop musical comedy experience,’ BYO Love Stories sees Jenny sharing glimpses into her own romantic history, while inviting the audience to share snippets from their own to fuel spontaneous musical comedy creations.

Whether you want to write down a suggestion for a title of the perfect epic rock ballad, or share inspiring details of one of your own love stories, or even take up the invite to leap onstage for a one-night-only pop duet… this is guaranteed to be a show that will never be repeated. Literally. What happens in the BYO Love Stories show, stays in the BYO Love Stories show!

Wednesday 10 January, Bangalow Bowls Club, 8pm.
Thursday 11 Jan, Piggabeen Hall, 8pm.
Friday 12 Jan, Pottsville Community Hall, 8pm.
Saturday 13 Jan, Last Rites Bar, Yamba, 8pm.
