The Black Parlour: Nambour Variety Show

A year in the making, and with some of the Sunshine Coast’s top talent in acting, music and sound production, the Nambour Variety Show podcast series is rolling out across the digital stratosphere. Part spoof, part history, part on the street-and very real, The Nambour Variety Show is the brainchild of award winning radio producer, Hamish Sewell and the team at the Old Ambo, who are hell bent on putting little old sugar town ‘Namba’ back on the map.
For locals, lovers of fun and discerning podcaster nerds, the NVS is a truly original mix of voices, from the joyous and fond, to the sweet, sticky and scripted. Join our team and Aunty Doreen (Annie Gaffney) as we kick off episode 1: What is it about Nambour that incubates world leaders? Serious stuff indeed! Nambour Variety Show is Proudly supported by Sunshine Coast Council.

Tickets $12 at the door.

The Black Parlour:
The Black Parlour is our late night theatre program. Let’s start the festival with a Kabaret, no not Cabaret, we punch much harder than that, this is the kind of evening that will leave you Wounded, in all the Right Places. Have you ever been to Crazy Horse in Paris? No, then Mania will take you there one piece of cast of clothing and contortionistic movement at a time. Phew we are cracking a sweat just thinking about them. Fancy an evening of sultry soul music, Beyond the Crossroads revisits the musical genius of Ry Cooder in a search for the lost song. Topology takes your iconic tunes, stretches, bends and scrambles them (almost) beyond recognition, then reassembles them into Tortured Remixes their adventurous new work. The Nambour Variety Show podcast series is rolling out across the digital stratosphere. Part spoof, part history, part on the street-and very real, The Nambour Variety Show will launch in the Black Parlour on Sat 2nd. Check out the full program for Performance times and come and enjoy theatre from the Underground.
