The Butterfly Club Gig Guide
Adelaide Cabaret Festival shows at The Butterfly Club
In June we feature several hot shows from the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, including:
- Musical Genius and Sex Symbol, Earl Okin (UK), 18-20 June
- the sell-out 2009 Edinburgh Festival hit ‘Cabaret Whore’ with Sarah-Louise Young (UK), 18&19 June
- the enfant terrible of the New York cabaret scene, Kim Smith (USA), is coming home to where his journey to international acclaim began, 24-27 June
All shows are now on sale and will sell out fast.
Sing your heart out
Well before the TV show of a similar name, the Glee Club was singing with gusto. Having sung every Wednesday for the past five years, expanded to Tuesdays last year, sung in the Melbourne Comedy, Fringe and Midsumma festivals, and accompanied Tim Minchin, this “inspired group sing-a-long” (Beat Magazine) is celebrating by throwing a 5th birthday party.
This is a great opportunity for former Glee Club members to catch up and for prospective members to find out what it’s all about.
Date: Friday 4 June
Time: from 7.00 pm
Location: upstairs at The Butterfly Club, 204 Bank Street, South Melbourne
Cabaret cocktail of the month:
