John Knowles STORYTILLER Presents I Can Top...

Event Date: 21/05/2017, 04:45 pm

The freshest comic storytelling show in town - SMH
If you've ever been around a gaggle of comedians chatting, they spend most of their time trying to top each other with a more entertaining story or a funnier gag. As soon as one comic starts telling their story, you can sense that the other comedians ‘reloading’, preparing to launch into their own 'even better' story, the moment the first story ends. It like the game people play at dinner parties when someone recounts a tale about having had a terrible job or going to the worst wedding ever and everyone else tries to outdo them. How many times have you heard someone say,"You think that's bad...I can top that!" This show gives comics the chance to do just that, live on stage.

Hosting the show is John Knowles - the Storytiller, fresh from his sell-out one-man show in the 2016 Fringe Comedy Festival. Joining him each night are three top comedians known for their ability to tell a great yarn. They key to this brand of comedy is that these stories are all true. Some will be shocking, others embarrassing, inciteful, sweet or just plain hilarious
Its a smorgasbord of real life adventures and raw revelations with an emphasis on vulnerability, confession and laughter.

Picture a competitive true-story-telling-slam on speed. One comic tells their funniest short true story based on a random audience suggestion. Then the other performers race for the one microphone shouting "I CAN TOP THAT!" before attempting to tell a better story. Its like The Moth meets Family Feud. The audience decides which comic wins the round and that performer retains control of the microphone.

John was recently featured on a special two hour episode of Conversations with Richard Fidler (ABC702’s). Upon finishing the long funny interview, Fidler exclaimed, “Expect phone calls from publishers wanting you to write the book!”

Educating Rita

Event Date: 11/05/2017, 08:00 pm

EDUCATING RITA by Willy Russell Sometimes students end up being the best teachers.
Educating Rita gives a hilarious - and often moving - account of a young woman’s determination to change her life. Frank is a tutor of English whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to drink and bury himself in his books. Enter Rita, a forthright 26 year-old hairdresser who is eager to learn. Rita slowly wins over the very hesitant Frank with her innate insight and refusal to accept no for an answer. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Educating Rita is a painfully funny and passionately serious contemporary classic.
10 - 20 May
Director Julie Baz Cast David Jeffrey & Emily McGowan

STEVE LYNCH In US Of Eh

Event Date: 10/05/2017, 07:00 pm

In other words... America - what is up with that place? Steve Lynch knows. He took the plunge and moved there.
For a whole year, Steve (SCRABBLE Unscripted, Theatresports champion, ABC TV's Wednesday Night Fever) saw everything it had to offer, and said yes to (almost) everything. In U.S. of Eh?!? Steve goes beyond the cliches and the catastrophic election decisions, and reveals the true America, reliving a year of Hollywood, rednecks, reality TV, Texan rodeos and, most of all, confusion.
Steve has always loved comedy that celebrates the joy of living. U.S. of Eh?!? is all about doing something crazy
like moving to another country for no good reason, and sucking the marrow out of life - with no regrets.

“When I moved to America, I was determined to say ‘yes’ to everything. It was while I was standing on a reality TV show set,
unpaid, that I thought: “If I get out of this country alive, it will make a great show’!”

Steve is a Sydney Theatresports legend and Cranston Cup champion – most recently playing alongside
Olympic diving gold-medalist Matthew Mitcham in Celebrity Theatresports.
He’s performed at Sydney and Melbourne Comedy Festivals, Sydney Fringe, in multiple impro spin-off shows
as well as most recently in regular shows Improv Soap and Def Con 3.
He has written for Comedy Inc (Channel 9), Double Take (Channel 7), the AWGIE-winning Wednesday Night Fever and The Glasshouse (ABC).
After branching out from Improv into Stand-up in the US, within 3 months he became a regular performer at the Comedy Store in Hollywood.
He also kept a hilarious blog about his travels.

Steve Lynch - US of Eh?!?! plays at The Factory Theatre, 105 Victoria Rd Marrickville
Wed 10th and Friday 12th May at 7:00 pm | Duration: 60mins
Tickets: $18.00 - $20.00

Pandora: Out Of The Bag Again

Event Date: 07/05/2017, 07:00 pm

Pandora’s Bag is a hilarious collection of 10 songs all inspired by that must-have item: the handbag
Pandora’s Bag is a hilarious collection of 10 songs all inspired by that must-have item: the handbag!
From the sexy to the sassy, the sad to the hilarious, Weinberg opens the bag of female mystery
and pulls out everything from dirty laundry to leather fetishes and ‘bag porn’ (her secret vice).
She sings of middle-aged women on ships, timeless female myths and secret women’s business.
There is a new song in the show too – "Doctor D" - dedicated to a real flying female doctor from Sydney.

'Chantelle' will showcase an unusual bag collection and there is even a 'show and tell' section where audience members
are encouraged to tell personal or amusing stories about their bags. The best story wins a designer bag from Cantabulous!

Drummer Nicola Ossher, trumpeter Ellen Kirkwood and cellist Kate Adams are the outstanding musical and vocal accompanists.
This is the perfect way to celebrate a girl’s night out, (though boys are very welcome too, cos they have their own ‘baggage’)
and paper lunch bags are provided at the door for the bagless! This talented and playful gang of women will ensure you have bags of fun.

Pandora’s Bag – Bag by Popular Demand! And album launch.

Fully costumed comic opera & 3-course meal in a stunning heritage dining room.
Discover Sydney's best-kept secret!

You are invited to dine at one of Sydney CBD’s most beautiful heritage listed dining rooms whilst indulging in some of the opera world's most beautiful music.

Back by popular demand! Opera Bites, Sydney’s favourite boutique opera company has once again partnered with The Castlereagh Boutique Hotel to bring you an unforgettable evening of fully costumed popular opera complete with a bespoke menu and select fine wines to match.

Fri 5th May - “A Night in Paris”
From comedy to the sublime, delight in the best French Opera has to offer. You’ll swear the Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower are just outside the door as you luxuriate in the sounds of Paris and savour a divine French-inspired menu with matching wines.

Begin with champagne and canapes as you settle in for Bizet’s hilarious comic opera "Doctor Miracle". This early work from the composer of "Carmen" is full of delightful tunes and comic ensembles. The story tells of an ingenious boyfriend who contrives to overcome his girlfriend’s parents’ objections to him. Complete with numerous disguises, action aplenty, and a rather unique omelette, you’ll wonder why you don’t see this gem more often.

Following a delectable main course, sit back and enjoy a fine selection of elegant opera and song celebrating all things French. Expect tunes you’ll know and love from "The Pearl Fishers", "La traviata", "Carmen", "La bohème" and more.

Finish off with a beautiful dessert and enjoy chatting to the Opera Bites cast members over coffee or tea. Truly a night to remember!

Tickets include entertainment, 3-course bespoke menu and select fine wines to match.
