John Knowles - Storytiller - Quick Tix

Event Date: 11/09/2014, 08:15 pm

OMFG. (Oh My Freaking Gosh!*) It’s all true…
Award-winning Canadian-born Sydney comic JOHN KNOWLES brings his bizarre and hilarious, tall but true tales to the Sydney Fringe Comedy Festival.
It’s “Storytiller” and it plays 11, 13 and 14 September at The Factory.

John Knowles has worked as a comedian, writer and chlorine salesman in Sydney ever since German sailors put him off the Hamburg Sud container ship he had called home for six weeks on the high seas.

John has ‘inadvertently’ sent three people to hospital with stab wounds. He has worked as a professional Kermit the Frog impersonator. His wife Ronelle is one of 16 chidren (plus a foster child). While John was working nights at a dubious family business called Swanky Franky’s, John’s dad was out drinking and deep-sea fishing with Johnny Carson and selling jet-skis to Haiti’s dictator, Baby Doc Duvalier. (The blue fin tuna in the photo above was caught by Carson on that trip - then stuffed and mounted.) John was expelled in grade 11 for sneaking a chainsaw into his high school and surprising a rival by cutting his guitar in two. A proud father himself, John constantly tries to make his four young children laugh, to which they often reply. “Don’t give up your day job Dad”. His day job is being their carer.

John hoards stories. He can’t help it. Name any topic. It’ll remind him of a true story. Most are funny, some are chilling and others just plain odd. The show is directed by George ‘Rev Slim Limits’ Catsi.

Sydney Eisteddfod McDonald's Operatic Aria

Event Date: 21/09/2014, 05:00 pm

The final of this historic competition is a 'must' for opera lovers
Formerly known as the Sun Aria, this event has been the jewel in the Sydney Eisteddfod crown ever since it began in 1933. The talent it attracts is always outstanding and over the decades, it has served as a launching pad for some of Australia’s greatest singers, Dame Joan Sutherland among them.

With its rich history and a total prize purse of $57,000, this is the competition every aspiring opera star dreams of winning. As it always attracts finest voices Australia and New Zealand can muster, qualifying for the final is a prize in itself.

The final is a magnificent event and with the acclaimed North Sydney Symphony Orchestra accompanying the singers under the baton of Maestro Steven Hillinger, this classical feast will enthrall opera lovers of all ages.

Year Of The Abbott

Event Date: 06/09/2014, 08:30 pm

All the horror, history and hysteria we simply can’t forget… or forgive
Join Timothy Hugh Govers and Shane Addison at the Chippendale Hotel as they fondly recall every
political gaffe, blunder and resignation of the 12 months following the 2013 General Election.

In just 60 minutes they examine potential ways to rejuvenate the Prime Minister’s flagging popularity,
attempt to reform the education curriculum and draw the audience’s attention to the most brazenly inaccurate predictions made by the media since September 7 last year.

They will be joined on stage by impressionists Nathan Lentern and Jonas Holt as well as Brent Thorpe’s original creation “Deidre Flick” (self-funded retiree from Mosman.)

Year of the Abbott is an irreverent and playful celebration of the eccentricities and paradoxes that dominate Australian political life. It’s a winner… by a landslide!

Out Of Fear

Event Date: 05/09/2014, 07:00 pm

An exciting new theatre company with a provocative Australian play
An exciting new theatre company launches this September with a provocative new
Australian play throwing love, divorce and isolation into the spotlight.

“You work all your life for that bit of string, without compromise because we see
what we supposedly want, but in the end it’s nothing, there’s no more string.”

Out of Fear portrays savage personal disasters when life does not meet expectations.
Witkop’s play is a psychological exposition of a man trapped by his own guilt and delusion.

From the writers of The Hatpin, LOVEBiTES is a series of short stories about falling in love, catching one half of each couple in the instant that love strikes and then hearing from the other half about how it ended up, giving us a unique, hilarious and moving insight into the separate perspective of the two individuals who share it.

I am thrilled to present the LOVEBiTES as Wooden Horse Productions debut show in a whole new way, giving Sydney the chance to be first to hear a brand new orchestration from composer Peter Rutherford” - Troy Alexander, Director.
