Nominee Outstanding Original Songs 2024 Green Room Awards
Judges’ Pick 2023 Melbourne Fringe
Winner Frank Ford Award 2022 Adelaide Cabaret Festival
Winner Best Emerging Artist Weekly Award 2019 Adelaide Fringe
Warning: Do not attend this show without a well-trained pelvic floor. Silly, snappy and side-splittingly naughty, FRANKLY’s rapid-fire hour of original musical comedy is causing incontinence across the nation.
With songs, skits, puppets and props, FRANKLY covers everything from bisexuals to Bob Katter in this “chaotic thrill-ride” (Melbourne Fringe) that’s absolutely dripping with “biting satire and unexpected twists” (The List, UK). A crazed take on the classic form – this is not your Grandma’s cabaret!
FRANKLY is a cult favourite of the Australian cabaret scene. Loved by audiences for her lively stage presence, intelligent songwriting and ability to absorb you into her strange internal world, her left-of-field approach to everyday ideas makes her a performer that’s as relatable as she is memorable.
Self described as “Amanda Palmer if you ordered her from WISH,” she’s been described by others as “wildly entertaining” (Hugging Comedians), “Regina Spektor, but funny” (HiFi Way) and a “total freak” (her own grandma) with a “stage presence that feels mature beyond her years” (Melbourne Fringe). She’s real. She is professional. And she’s currently banned from Brunswick Savers.
March 31 – April 6
