What's on in the next weeks? Jan and Feb 2010

I'm giving shows in January (and a bit of February) a miss as I'll be taking Kim Wilde's advice, singing showtunes in the streets of Saigon and pretending I'm Catherine Deneuve as I tour Indochine. But here's some great stuff that should be seen.



The Last Tuesday Society will be celebrating that public holiday that isn't officially called Invasion Day on 26 Jan. Keep an eye on their website for details.


High-pant-wearing superstar Mikelangelo is crooning about the city with Saint Claire and/or his Tin Star posse.

Cath Jamison is always great. Her show is I Know What You're Thinking

Penelope Bartlau's puppetry and story telling is always exquisite.
