“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.” 

You can’t buy happiness, but there’s always Happy Hour.

The Trash Queen of Cabaret Tash York is determined to find out what makes us happy. Is it finishing that 3rd bottle of wine? Staying up until 3am because you don’t want the night to end? Buying yet another cat? (She has 3 already you know…) 

After two years lost to the global panini, Tash York’s Happy Hour is set to thrill you even more than a half-price wine list. Tash unapologetically drinks a pool of wine, practices self-care, slays her insecurities, and makes the effort to make sure everyone leaves their troubles at the door. Backed by her boozy music makers and backing singers The Red Red Wines (Peppy Smears & Vivian Fonteyn) expect powerful three-part harmonies, hilarious true stories, improvised numbers and of course Australia’s favourite game - Goon of Fortune! 

Don’t let the makeup, wigs and costumes fool you; Tash York is as bogan as they come. Celebrated with countless awards and glowing reviews, Happy Hour combines Drag and Cabaret in a way unlike any other - Think Meow Meow meets Bianca Del Rio but on a budget! Your Hostess with the Mostess (wine) Tash York is a multi-award-winning cabaret artist who has been touring the world with her hit solo shows and is also celebrated Emcee of The After Hours Cabaret Club, The Australian Burlesque Festival and Briefs: Sweatshop.

Kate says of the upcoming tour, “Playing live has always been at the heart of what I do - I live for it. I can’t wait to get back to some places I haven’t been in AGES, and some I’ve never been to, and connect with my amazing audiences across Australia. Regional crowds are some of the greatest people to play for!”

Like all Kate Miller-Heidke shows, the CATCHING DIAMONDS tour will be a celebration of voice, storytelling, emotion, humour and music that transports and transcends, of discovering anew each night the transformative connection between the performer and the audience.

Thursday 18 May | 7.30pm | GPAC Main Theatre

Clearwater Revival, as we walk-through the life and music of one of the world’s most iconic bands – from the songs they wrote, to the songs covered, to the songs they wrote for others.

From their album debut in 1968 to their last album in 1972, CCR was a juggernaut of phenomenal proportions. No other band has created such an impact in such a short time.

The Creedence Clearwater Collective brings to the stage a six piece band – with a guest Saxophonist and a vocalist that emulates John Fogerty’s distinct vocals – to capture the unique CCR sound.

You do not want to hear through the grapevine that you missed out on this hit-packed production.
