Short And Sweet Gala Finals

Event Date: 27/04/2019, 07:30 pm

Short and Sweet Finals Sydney
Short+Sweet Theatre Festival reaches its thrilling climax for 2019 with the Gala Finals Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 April,
when the very best of the fest face off in a feast of delicious theatrical bites featuring comedy, drama… romance!
This is the pointy end of the 18th year of the international hit short-form theatre festival which boasts its beginnings in inner west Sydney.
Short+Sweet has since spread the popular 10-minute format in theatre, dance,
cabaret & comedy across Australia and the globe with festivals as far afield as India, Malaysia, Dubai & NZ.
Its Hollywood festival is now the world’s go-to showcase for actors, writers and directors for stage and screen.

This year’s festival has been boosted by a host of new talent from Short+Sweet’s New Directors’ Initiative
in which 40 participants were mentored by experienced directors that included a masterclass by Actors Centre Australia legend Dean Carey.

As usual, the 2019 fest featured judges’ voting and the People’s Choice audience votes
and debuting festival director Sarah Purdue also introduced two highly successful themed weeks:
LGBTQIA Week which coincided with Mardi Gras; and Women’s Week - aligned with International Women’s Day.

Sarah said she was excited to have presented a diverse and engaging festival this year.

“We have had artists representing the Indian and Chinese Australian communities, productions
from the Illawarra, Bundanoon, Canberra and as far away as Los Angeles and Chennai.
We’ve had first-time directors who recently completed their HSC, octogenarians…
and some with over 13 years’ experience in Short+Sweet.
The final line-up is a truly exciting mix of the funny, the thrilling, the feel-good and the bizarre!”

Saturday night 27 April’s show will be judged by a panel of industry professionals, whose awards will be announced and presented after the Sunday 28 April performance.

WE'RE BACK! Some of the funniest impro comedy legends of the last 30 years mixed in with some of the brightest up-and-coming stars, make for a night of super-charged, ad-lib comedy. After a bunch of great shows last year, with huge laughs, wonderful performers, great impro comedy... and GREAT AUDIENCES they returns on Wednesday, March 27 to do it all again.
Marko was there at Belvoir St Theatre in 1985 when Theatresports first came to Australia. Since then he has performed in, directed and produced scores of Impro Comedy shows around and Australia and the world.

Joining him this month:

CALE BAIN, legendary improviser (and that wonderful guy at Improv Theatre Sydney).
ANNA RENZENBRINK, impro star originally from Impro Melbourne, then the world, now (lucky for us) in Sydney.
DAVID CALLAN, creator and star of I SPIED, one of the only comedy shows ever to get 6 stars out of 5 from the critics at the Adelaide Festival.
DANIEL CORDEAUX, truly one of Australia’s impro greats, and also one of the stars of the legendary impro TV show "Thank God You’re Here".
LINETTE VOLLER, my current best/favourite improviser - we’re now in rehearsal for our Sydney Comedy Festival show “Rome Sweet Rome”.
Get set for a night of super-creative, inventive, hilarious ad-lib comedy, from sketches to long open scenes, to group mayhem.

Paquito At Melbourne Comedy Festival

Event Date: 18/04/2019, 08:30 pm

Melbourne Quick Tix open to all members
This show has nothing to do with any of that.

‘Paquito’ is her second and much better foray into Comedy. It comes off the back of what was a very important year as she completed her Bachelor of Creative Arts course (the ‘green on a four coloured pen’ of degrees) and presented her debut hour - ‘Boss’ - at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival.

Bossinakis returns to the Festival in 2019 with her second-hour show, ‘Paquito’. In this show she questions where it all went wrong, could it be the fact that she can name each Kardashian but not all three branches of government? Or maybe that she completed a mime credit at university?

EVIE WELTLINGER RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM

Event Date: 14/04/2019, 08:00 pm

Songs of My Heart
Multi-lingual world music singer, composer & lyricist, Evelyne Weltlinger,
launches her debut CD at Camelot’s intimate Django Bar in Marrickville, on Sunday 14 April.

“Songs of My Heart” features joyful, soulful and always tuneful Yiddish songs with Evelyne’s original lyrics in French and English,
as well as evergreen classics, and her own expressive compositions in an exotic mix of languages.
Evelyne (Evie) Weltlinger’s debut album is, by her own admission, a celebration of her late ‘coming out’ as a singer.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco, she came to Australia as a child, speaking only French,
although a mishmash of German, Yiddish and later English, also rang through the home.
The sounds of these languages, as well as classical and French music,
with her father’s beautiful violin playing, continuously surrounded and influenced her.

She sang in various youth groups, and desperately wanted to become a singer.
However, her parents disapproved and – like so many young women of her generation –
she went instead to university, and became a (much loved!) high school French & English teacher.

10 years ago, after career, marriage, parenthood (including being mother to two accomplished artists), the music burst through!
Since then, Evelyne has performed in various venues in Sydney – including at Sydney’s iconic world music venue Camelot –
as well as in Germany and France - and always with an outstanding line-up of musicians,
foremost among them her talented, internationally renowned violinist son Daniel!

Last year she recorded Songs of My Heart in Berlin, accompanied by Daniel and outstanding European musicians,
including her famous mentor and friend, Karsten Troyke, (who also produced this fine recording).

The Greatest Magic Show - Melbourne

Event Date: 13/04/2019, 02:00 pm

Award Winning & Spectacular Family Entertainment!
The Greatest Magic Show is once again returning to The Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood from 13 to 20 April as a part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival! Featuring incredible illusions, escaping from 200m of GLAD WRAP before being covered in a bucket of slime, incredible circus artistry, and invisibly shooting a very special guest out of a cannon across the stage; these are just some of the things that make this family-friendly magic show, the GREATEST!

Plus, every single child who comes to the show will be given a free magic wand on entry… what’s not to love?!

Known as The Showmen, Melbourne-based comic magicians Justin Williams (26) and Sam Hume (20) will be using their combined 15 years in family entertainment to put on this production, which is anything but a typical children’s magic show.

“Justin and I have been passionate about magic and performing our whole lives,” says two-time winner of the Australian Junior Championships of Magic and former Australian Champion of Close-Up Magic, Sam Hume.

“We have painstakingly put together completely original routines, bringing together a range of disciplines to deliver a show that is sure to leave an impression.”

Their recent sold-out season at Fringe World in Perth, saw them winning an award for the best children’s show. This was off the back of previous sold-out seasons at the 2015, 2016 and 2019 Melbourne Magic Festivals, along with celebrated performances at the Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide Fringe Festivals.

The Greatest Magic Show Melbourne season will once again feature the same energetic, unforgettable, jaw-dropping feats that have delighted revellers across the country, with a few new, added twists! This high-octane spectacle is filled with breathtaking illusions and loads of audience participation. If you see one show this season, it should be this.

NOTE: The winner will receive a family pass (4 tickets) to the show.
