Aborigi-LOL &  Burrinja Presents

Dane Simpson | Didgeridoozy 

Thu 9 Jun @ 8.00pm | Lyre Room

 

The standup show that really blows!

A comedic ode to one of the oldest wind instruments on the face of the planet. Stories, music, silliness and laughs. Discover the what/why/how of the didge and have one hell of a lot of fun along the way.

Based in Wagga Wagga, Dane is a fast-rising star. In just six years, he has toured to almost every state of Australia with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow and has appeared on Have You Been Paying Attention, the Comedy Festival Gala, the Opening Night Allstars Supershow, and in feature film The Merger. Dane has also sold out countless shows as part of Aborigi-LOL and (just quietly) has several really cool media deals on the board. During 2020 lockdown, Dane was the host of cult-hit online show Servo Bingo where he would sit in the window of Thirsty Crow brewery opposite the servo making calls such as "red Toyota", "guy in a flanny" and "white ute with a dog in the back" while those playing at home marked off their bingo cards. So much fun. You are gonna love Dane in Didgeridoozy.

Simpson is hilarious and his ability with the didgeridoo is both special and unexpected ★★★★ - THE ADVERTISER

MILKE &  Burrinja Presents

Selina Jenkins | BOOBS

Fri 10 Jun @ 8.00pm | Lyre Room

‘BOOBS’ is a ground-breaking tale of mammary proportions that follows one woman and her two boobs through a life changing decision, a million opinions, a natural disaster and an 'Australian first'.

When Selina chose, as a grown woman, to undergo elective surgery of a fiercely personal nature, she hoped for good health and great results.

She hadn’t anticipated the metaphorical hurricane that surrounded her decision or simultaneously weathering a literal one.

Selina Jenkins is a multi-award winning artist, acclaimed musician and celebrated musical comedian. Jenkins’ distinctive style of storytelling marries humour and heartbreak amongst cleverly written songs and thought provoking anecdotes.

Boobs won multiple awards in the cabaret category of Melbourne’s 2020 Green Room awards, and was named as one of Melbourne’s top five stage in 2019. No matter your gender or boob status it’s thoroughly recommended.
