ISAAC BUTTERFIELD IS BACK WITH A BRAND-NEW SHOW IN 2025!

Thursday 12 June, 2025 | 8.30pm | GPAC Main Theatre

Australia’s favourite bearded menace is hitting the road again—bigger, bolder, and more unapologetic than ever. Isaac Butterfield’s 2025 tour is not for the easily offended (or anyone still clinging to their virtue signals). This is stand-up comedy with no safety net—just brutal honesty, belly laughs, and the kind of jokes that will have you questioning if you’re going straight to hell for laughing.

From racking up millions of views on YouTube to sold-out shows across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, Isaac has built a reputation for saying what everyone else is too scared to. And this year? Nothing is off-limits.
BRING YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR (AND A THICK SKIN).

“A show where you can get together with La Familia and not fight…maybe!” 

TEG Dainty is thrilled to present one of Australia’s biggest-selling comedy acts, Sooshi Mango, and their all-new tour, Home Made, hitting a whopping 25 cities around the country this August–November.  This follows an international tour earlier this year and a sold out Australian tour in 2022 which saw them break the house record at Rod Laver and bring laughter to over 100,000 fans.  

The trio, made up of brothers Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri and friend Andrew Manfre, are award-winning comedians, podcasters, and content creators and are among the best-loved comedians working in Australia today, consistently performing to sold out crowds across the country and around the world.  

Known for their skits and characters inspired by their beloved Italian family, Sooshi Mango have taken the world by storm in recent years thanks to their relatable, nostalgic humour and hilarious delivery.  Now, ‘ethnic dads’ Johnny, Vince, Sam, and all their friends are set to return to the stage with all-new material in Home Made! Think outrageous skits, knee-slappers, and musical numbers galore that will transport you back in time and have you laughing until your ribs are sore. New show, same antics! 

Carlo Salinitri said: “Australia we are back, and we are bringing you all our biggest and best show yet! Our Nonna would be proud! Get ready, it's coming.” 

Andrew Manfre said “It's been great to tour internationally but it's always super special launching a brand-new show in our homeland, Australia. This is some of our best work yet!” 

Joe Salinitri said “We are going above and beyond to make sure this is not just a comedy show but a memorable comedy event for the people. It’s going to be a comedy rock concert.”

A fun and whimsical story-telling workshop, led by acclaimed children’s entertainer Em Chandler, designed to help children develop their imagination.  

Tuesday 9 April | 1:00pm | GPAC Town Hall Theatre

Come fracture, explore, and retell some classic fairy tales through kindness, wonder, and play! Let’s use our imaginations, blankets, chairs, and all sorts of everyday objects to make troll bridges and little pig’s houses! We can be sneaky Goldilocks and Big Bad Wolves with a colander hat or blanket cape. And what happens when we start to change the stories? Are there more than three billy goats gruff? What if they were superheros? An alien invasion, or pig fairy godmothers? Let’s find out together.  

Using a combination of imaginative play, verbal and non-verbal storytelling, music, and ‘following the leader’, participants will retell traditional fairy tales as a group, before ‘fracturing them’/pulling them apart, asking “what if…?” and letting our imaginations guide us. We’ll turn everyday objects into our set and props and work collaboratively to retell a classic fairy tale or two that won’t have been told quite that way before.   

About Em Chandler:

Em Chandler (she/they) is a lauded storyteller, magician, and theatre-maker. With over 16 years of experience working with kids and their adults, Em is a proud queer/trans artist who connects with others through kindness and wonder, bringing her unique repertoire of spells, stories and songs to intimate community events or major festivals. Passionate about social justice, fairy tales, and drinking tea, The Sydney Morning Herald calls Em "pure enchantment".
