Bruns is always abuzz during the holidays and the Brunswick Picture House is excited to present their gigantic October program.

It’s the final weekend for the outrageous and hysterical boylesque troupe Briefs Factory as they wrap up their residency this Sunday. Fierce and provocative, the gang is stomping it out for the final four sessions of Club Brief – Thursday to Sunday. Then on Sunday, they’re back with their twist on the game show, the raucous Bearded Bingo at 2pm.

Of course, just for the kiddies, Brats carnival – a high-energy, super fun, glitter-bombing afternoon all ages show – on Friday and Saturday at 2pm.

When Australia’s King of Blues and Roots teams up with a full gospel choir, it’s a completely unmissable event – which is why we’ve just added a second show for Ash Grunwald on Sunday, October 19 at 4pm after selling out his Saturday show!

The multi-award-winning Emily Wurramara returns on Friday, October 24 to celebrate her new release ‘Adore Me’.

It’s truly one of the kinkiest nights on our calendar: Kinky Drawers comes back out for the coolest life drawing burlesque art event yet, on Friday, October 10.

Make room for two comedy powerhouses as Picture House favourite Nazeem Hussain returns with a brand-new show on Saturday, October 11, while the much-loved TV star Dave O’Neill hits the Bruns stage for the first time on Friday, October 17.

Big doco films are back in October, including five new thought-provoking titles from Byron Bay Film Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26 – two direct action stories with live panel discussions: Turning The Ship and To Kill A War Machine on Wednesday, October 15, and the world’s best new action sports films in ‘Adventure Reels Tour’, Thursday October 16.

Tickets for all shows at brunswickpicturehouse.com.
