Burnt bras, a custom built bar & it's OPENING NIGHT!

A Comedy by Brown Council opens tonight at the Queen's Theatre. The beautiful heritage listed venue has been transformed into a spectacular vision with a custom built, tiled bar, and industrial chandelier designed by Maddog Delaney. It includes retro couches and tables for chilling out and enjoying a drink while basking in the glow of the festoon lighting and admiring the stone walls and exposed beams of the Queen's Theatre.

A Comedy plays four times tonight at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm & 10pm. It is an endurance spectacular and audiences are invited to see just one show, or, for the brave, stay for all four shows. Or stay for two, have a break and a drink at the bar and see the last show. Warning - it WILL intensify over the course of evening. Can you handle it? 

Haven't got your tickets yet? There are still a few tickets left for opening night! Book them now at BASS or FringeTIX

In the lead up to opening night, Brown Council have been busy rehearsing and doing interviews and TAKING THEIR BRAS OFF IN RUNDLE MALL. You know, just the usual stuff.  Yesterday, the Brown Council ladies took to the Fringe Caravan stage in the mall and amused/mystified spectators by removing their bras and burning them to the soundtrack of Single Ladies, by Beyonce. 

If you missed out, you can catch them at the Fringe Caravan, Rundle Mall, next Wednesday, March 9 at 4:55pm... who knows what they'll do next?

They'll also be appearing at BossLady for more shenanigans.
