Catch a bird on Friday, May 10 at the Brunswick Picture House – doors 6.30pm, show 7pm

Swooping into its third year, Ché Pritchard’s hit production Birds of Paradise: A Comedy Birdlesque! is back, and this time the flock is covering more ground than ever! The world-class, multi-skilled and clucking amazing cast will be dazzling audiences with their spectacular and hilarious displays for a whole new flock of feathered cabaret and comedy fans! And where better to do it than the renowned Brunswick Picture House, home of epic cabaret and comedy!

There’s no need to brave the depths of the Amazon to peek at the mating rituals of the more traditional birds of paradise, when we have our own spectacular (albeit quirky) ‘birds of Surfers Paradise’ right here in Australia. This show will have you laughing like a kooky in a gumtree… happy as an ibis at the tip… excited as a pigeon at maccas… ok, ok, you get it.

We know them and their antics well, but never have we seen them quite like this. Don’t be surprised if they pluck themselves on stage, steal your hot chips, or have you ducking for cover under your seats. You might even learn a thing or two about these beautiful birds and their habitats.

So grab a perch and hold on tight as these avian locals show off their plumage and put on an outrageous display that you’ll be chirping about for weeks. Gather your flock and get your tickets now www.linktr.ee/birdsofparadise_birdlesque.
