The Butterfly Club comedy and cabaret gigs in May

Filed under: cabaret, Live Music Venues, Comedy, Gigs — site admin @ 5:35 pm

We know this will come as a shock to a lot of Melburnians who get their laughs for four weeks a year and then hibernate in self-inflicted misery, but we need to get this off our chest (wings?).

“Comedy does not stop once the Comedy Festival ends.”

There, we said it. And to prove our point, this month we’re featuring none other than the return of Tim Ferguson to the stage after a ten-year hiatus. Tim will combine forces with another of Australia’s sharpest minds, Fiona Scott-Norman, in a World Premiere of indiscernible proportions. Dates: Tuesday 11 to Sunday 16 May.

Bar Open Gig Guide for April

Monday 5th April
SCREEN SECT: TBC
Doors 7.30pm

Tuesday 6th April
MAKE IT UP CLUB
The Make It Up Club is committed to nurturing, presenting and promoting avant-garde improvised music and sound performance of the highest conceptual and performative standards, regardless of idiom, genre, or instrumentation. Whilst traditional forms of avant-garde improvisation are welcomed, MIUC programming policy gives priority to projects which challenge the boundaries of current musical trends and which are predominantly, though not exclusively, improvisational in nature.

This Week’s Performers include:

Wednesday 1st April
TAILOR MADE FOR A SMALL ROOM
Tailor Made For A Small Room is the project of Ayumu Haitani and Miwa Yahagi. Perhaps more widely known for their participation in massively ambitious Japanese psych-pop project 4 Bonjour’s Parties, Tailor Made sees Haitani and Yahagi scaling things back sonically, allowing for a greater sense of space and playfulness. The pair will play with the aid of a smattering of Melbournians. Opening this late evening show is experimental duo ii, who for the better part of a decade have been improvising their way through busted guitar pop, out-sound, thick drones and processing oddities - and, more recently, messed up electronica and tiny, tiny techno.
Doors 8.00pm
