Calypso Nights Join award-winning idiot Juan Vesuvius for a music lesson and dance party. Prepare to learn all there is to know about Calypso music courtesy of Juan, his two turntables, maracas and his impeccably styled shirt. After just an hour of Juan’s absurdist comedy, you’ll walk away with much-improved knowledge of Calypso, Kim Jong II, beauty pageants and sexual innuendos – and an indescribable urge to dance.

Comedy
Giovanni! If you like Bugs Bunny, Sacha Baron Cohen or Mr Bean, you’ll love Giovanni.
Giovanni is the dazzlingly funny waiter who brings you his tale of life, love and woe through the power of Italian food. Described as “the Italian waiter to beat all Italian waiters” (Broadway World), Giovanni recently wowed the crowds at the New York Clown Theatre Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival. Book a table, grab your wine and get ready to tuck into tasty comedic morsels with Giovanni.

Join BASHA for an evening of physical comedy and clowning at its most raw, and enjoy a prehistoric and naïve commentary on the foibles and superfluities of modern society. Ambiguously gendered, hip thrusting, branch offering and hairy bush wielding; the BASHA romp will disturb you in the best possible way! Performed by Kimberley Twiner, Directed by Liz Skitch
