Ballarat! Come see my new show!
Welcome to the Auslan jungle is a show about Auslan, the sort of sign language you use in the jungle of today’s Australia, proper Aussie (bogan) Auslan. This show is half comedy and half learning sign language. If you've always been meaning to learn another language but never got around to it and thought maybe Auslan looks like a fun language to learn because of all of the hands and stuff, then this is the show for you. This show teaches you to sign the proper Aussie (bogan) way and ends with everyone in the audience signing together in an Auslan Aussie (bogan) choir. Your hands will sing with an Aussie twang. Ben is an Auslan interpreter from Tasmania. He has been doing comedy for over 20 years after being a RAW Comedy National Finalist in 2002. Ben travelled all over Australia last year doing his show Deaf Bridges, including at the Melbourne and Sydney comedy festivals. All of Ben's shows are Auslan interpreted as Ben presents his shows in English while signing some Auslan. The Auslan interpreter signs the rest. This show is accessible to both Deaf and non-Deaf alike.

One Tease to Rule Them All is a burlesque parody set in Middle-earth, where epic quests take a deliciously improper turn. Drawing inspiration from a beloved fantasy world, this theatrical revue reimagines heroes, hobbits, dark lords, and mythical beings through the art of burlesque, circus, and character-driven performance. Follow a fellowship of bold and mischievous performers as they journey across enchanted realms filled with temptation, transformation, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Expect dramatic reveals, handcrafted costumes, cinematic lighting, and choreography that balances sensuality with humour and heart. This is not a retelling, it’s a playful corruption, lovingly poking fun at the tropes and legends audiences know so well. Whether you’re a fantasy fanatic, a burlesque devotee, or simply looking for a night of escapism and spectacle, this show invites you to laugh, gasp, and cheer as Middle-earth is turned delightfully on its head.
