Historically, when times are tough, we all seek a bit of distraction and escape to a world beyond the ordinary. And in these pretty crazy times, right now, an old-school night out at the Brunswick Picture House would be the perfect tonic.
You can always expect to see the absolute best in the business in the ‘House and that’s guaranteed with the return of Bruns Does Winter Burlesque – it’s bold, brassy and bursting at the seams with glitter. And with an all new line-up, it’s all tease, no sleaze. The three-week season starts on Thursday, July 10.
This week sees the return of two of Australia’s biggest names: the beguiling Katie Noonan is back with an intimate performance of her most loved songs and brand-new material from her upcoming release, and owing to phenomenal demand, Tim Freedman has just added a second show – a Sunday afternoon matinee where he’ll take you on a journey through his repertoire, recount some showbiz adventure tales and reveal untold stories about some of the best known Whitlams songs. Katie Noonan is on Friday at 7pm and Tim Freedman’s Saturday 7pm Moonlit Deck show is sold out, but there are still tickets for Sunday at 4pm.
And yes, it’s back: rejoice as Harry James Angus returns with his all-star band for Gospel Sunday III. It’s a non-religious, non-denominational Sunday session with many special guest vocalists and choirs. Come cure what ails, and come dance in the aisles – there’s so much demand for these tickets so don’t wait – Sunday, July 20 at 12pm.
It wouldn’t be a school holiday in Bruns without a jaw-dropping circus show for the kids – Lil’Cheeky is back, this time with a special Sunday afternoon 4pm start following Gospel Sunday. (Don’t let the grown-ups have all the fun!)
