Coming up on the show today Monday 15th September we had two guests lined up, however due to technical difficulties these guest will now be moved to our upcoming show on September. Our scheduled guests were:
Michael Simic - who will be performing Mikelangelo: In the Belly of the Whale on 11 - 12 OCT 2025 at the Kew Court House.
Acclaimed Croatian-Australian singer, songwriter and performer Michael Simic brings a rollicking and revealing whale of a tale to Kew Court House. In the Belly of the Whale is Simic's own story as a new dad juggling home life with life on the road. Combining songs, storytelling, comedy, and physical theatre, this solo show is vibrant, tender and truly entertaining; a deeply personal work shines a light on what it means to be a father, a son, a husband and an artist.
11 AND 12 OCT 2025
Kew Court House
188 High St Kew 3101
7:30pm – 9:30pm
Tickets: $36-45

Artists from The Blok performing at the Darebin Arts Speakeasy. A new work from A Daylight Connection at Melbourne Fringe Festival
8 – 18 October 2025
Radical, Blak, and funny as hell, First Nations theatre company, A Daylight Connection presents this hilarious and irreverent
show is a portrait of what it means to be an artist right now. The play centres on a character called The Master, an auteur whose exponential success and dizzying sense of self-importance comes crashing into a severe case of writer’s block. Played by Carly Sheppard, the character lampoons the idea of the genius artist, and pokes fun at the arts industry, while also speaking to the very real struggles of artists trying to make meaningful work in an increasingly impossible climate.
