Gossip

Australia

Heaven forbid a woman gets a little chatty amiright? Oh gossip, sweet forbidden fruit. But what is it really? Guilty pleasure or civil duty? Investigative journalism or trashy tabloid? Buckle up for the wild ride that is one woman’s theatrical presentation on her latest special interest. There will be graphs, there will be sequins and there will be a quiz – so pay attention.

Can gossip be ethical? Can a show about ethics be funny? All will be revealed in this philosophical musical comedy cabaret complete with original songs and dazzling burlesque interludes… but you didn't hear it from me.

After three sell-out seasons of her one woman mythological cabaret The Story of Cerberus – A Very Good Boy, Abi Ban-Jo now takes to the stage to question why gossip makes one a very bad girl.

'By turns charming, clever, funny, and surprisingly touching.' Bradley Storer
