Award-winning comedy arrives in Brimbank

An award-winning comedy about the neighbours you know and love to hate is making its way to Brimbank this month.

Stickybeak, supported by Creative Brimbank, is a dynamic, quick-change character show that catches the loudness in even the quietest of neighbourly interactions.

This troupe of mischief makers use character comedy to dig into the stories of fenced off lives and ask: who are these loveable yet revolting characters? Can their fences stop their worlds from tumbling out all over each other?

Performer, devisor and co-creator of Stickybeak Kimberley Twiner said the show is a loving mockery of the characters we share this world with.

“We all play multiple characters, as well as the animals of suburbia — dogs, cats, magpies, chickens, even snails. The show celebrates humans and creatures in all their weirdness and wildness,” Kimberley said, who also proudly performs as the lead snail in Stickybeak.

The laugh-out-loud show was the winner of the best comedy award at Melbourne Fringe in 2023.

The team behind the show — Kimberley Twiner, Laura Trenerry, Patrick Dwyer and Jessie Ngaio — are award-winning and award-nominated artists too.

Director Lily Fish said the show is sure to leave audience members laughing.

“It’s like Kath and Kim and the castle live onstage… utterly hilarious,” Lily said.

Stickybeak will be showing at the Bowery Theatre on Friday, August 29 at 7pm.

Ticket prices range from $15 to $20 with further discounts available for groups of four or more.
