Group back for POP-OP The Caloundra Chorale and Theatre Company is absolutely delighted that after more than 12 months they are once again able to present concerts and shows. Their next exciting concert is POP OP! What is POP OP? Well, it is basically a collection of some of the most beautiful music ever written, including glorious and stirring choruses, poignant love songs, rollicking operetta numbers, with a couple of exciting drinking songs thrown in for good measure. In all, a tribute to life, love, and champagne!! Come on a journey with the CCTC to explore the sheer beauty of music that has been written over four centuries and featuring (for this show only!)” The Caloundra Opera Chorus”, with selected soloists. Travel to Vienna and Paris, Italy, Egypt, Spain, ancient Greece, and Viet-
nam on their mission to thrill the audience with well-known songs and hopefully introduce them to some that will become new favourites. The CCTC chose these songs because they love them and hope the audience will find as much pleasure in hearing them as they do in singing them.

Dave Strassman and his senior’s character Grandpa Fred E Bare.
Sweet tooth Strassman comes home for laughs World-renowned US ventriloquist David Strassman and his band of quirky puppets are returning to their “home away from home” on the Sunshine Coast at Venue 114 with a brand-new show. The Chocolate Diet looks at many people’s obsession with sweets and lollies. And of course, Strassman uses his beloved puppet Ted E Bare to charter a comedic course through fad dieting. Strassman said The Chocolate Diet was his “funniest to date” and “choc a block with laughter”. “This show has proven to be absolutely hilarious because the subject matter – dieting and denial – are two traits that we all share on a daily basis,” Strassman said. “We’re always watching our weight, what we eat, feeling great when it’s healthy, guilty when it’s dessert. And we’re all in some state of self-denial when it comes to our self and body images. “Dieting and denial, they go hand in hand and it’s something we can all relate to which makes for a familiar and delicious comedy.” Interspersed with the Ted E Bare story are visits by Strassman’s famous entourage of characters including Chuck Wood, the insolent foulmouthed teenager, who truly tells it like it is. Also on stage is relatively new character, Grandpa Fred E Bare, who laconically talks of his ability to get senior’s discount from the most wildest places. Other puppets include Kevin the alien, who, while being quite sassy is revealingly wise and evaluates us as a species, noting how we all “crave content but are never content”. The Beaver character, Sydney,
David Strassman. talks about quitting comedy and he probably should, given the number of terrible dad jokes he tells. Each character has his own ‘song’ moment and many of the jokes have been localised or comment upon popular culture and politics. Strassman is one of Australia’s favourite comedians, a master of his art.
