An Evening Without Kate Bush

Are you ready to laugh your arses off? The Brunswick Picture House is bringing you some of the best comedic talent from around Australia and beyond!

You don’t need to be a Kate Bush fan at all to be swept away by An Evening Without Kate Bush – the huge cult cabaret show that sold out runs at the biggest fringe festivals around the world: Edinburgh, Perth and Adelaide.

This is not a tribute show, it’s a real celebration of the mythology behind this pop icon. Limited tickets are left for Saturday’s show – be there at 7pm.

Then the fabulous, and oh so filthy, Vanessa Larry Mitchell delivers Lube Us Alone, the sequel to her acclaimed Teardrops on My Dildo. Expect stories, and more things that should never be said out loud on Saturday, May 24 at 7pm.

More shows to see to be believed: do NOT miss the comedic genius of Ruby Teys as she performs her original Australiana tropicana psychological sh*tstorm – Cherry Vinyl – Coober Pedy’s Last Showgirl on Thursday, May 29 at 7pm.

Australia’s reigning champion of cheerful comedy Kirsty Webeck returns to share Everything I Need To Say About Sea Creatures – her all-new show on Saturday, May 31 at 7pm.

Sexy doesn’t begin to describe what you’ll see on stage at Kinky Drawers – it’s the art event spectacular where burlesque meets life drawing! Selling fast for the Friday May 23 event at 7pm.

And that’s just the next couple of weeks! – June will see new shows from Luke Heggie, the grand master of them all, Tom Gleeson, and just this week, the ‘House has announced brand new shows from Steve Kilbey (The Church), Emily Lubitz launching her new album, Tim Freedman’s Moonlit Deck, a conversation from ABC Radio’s Roly Sussex, the hugely popular Bruns musical The Wake, guitar virtuoso Daniel Champagne, and finally, the iconic Bruns Does Winter Burlesque – that’s 11 shows!
