CIRCUS, COMEDY, WTF? It’s that time again at the Brunswick Picture House – The Cheeky Cabaret’s new season has just opened and this one is more hilarious, and sexier, than ever! The House invites you to let your hair down, get your friends together and join them for the wildest time you’ll ever have in the Northern Rivers.
Since opening, the Cheeky has redefined a night out at the theatre, mixing together circus, comedy, vaudeville, burlesque and everything in between. The shows feature a different cast of troubadours, miscreants, delectable divas and cabaret queens every season, so no two shows are ever the same! With 15 sensational shows to choose from, you’d be mad to miss it! New special 4pm matinee performances are also on sale and don’t forget the best seats in
the house – the upfront Posh Seating – these sell out every time. Arrive early and sample some of the delicious cuisine and sweet treats available before the show – Kombi Kollective are back with their Cheeky Cocktail Bar in the garden, shaking up cocktails aplenty and serving wine, beer and bubbles for your enjoyment. But the venue doesn’t only cater for the adults. The all-ages circus show Lil’ Cheeky is back on Sunday, October 1 at 2pm – taking inspiration from the much cheekier ‘grown-ups’ version, Lil’ Cheeky is a mix of family-friendly circus,
cabaret and variety show entertainment. Also – Aunty Bear and ZaZa bring you a cabaret of songs written with children for children in the all-new show The Rainbow Tree on Sunday, October 8 at 11am – think farting unicorns, disco koalas and themes around inclusion, family and belonging. Do you fancy priority seating and discounts on tickets? Reap the rewards of the Housemates membership program. The kiosk, courtyard and box office are open one hour before all shows.
