Other Cabaret Festival highlights include:Īlan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs: A one-man show by Tony Award-winning actor and singer Alan Cummings (Eli Gold on The Good Wife) mixing “intimate stories” with interpretations of pop songs and stage classics.Īncient Rain:Paul Kelly and Irish-French singer Camille O’Sullivan star in this show which combines the spoken word with a song-cycle of new compositions inspired by the work of Yeats and other Irish poets. The 2017 Adelaide Cabaret Festival, with the theme The Tables Are Turning, will be held from June 9-24. If someone looks terrified or nervous, I leave them alone to watch and process what’s happening without my help. I look for people who have something that looks like it’s trying to get out from inside of them. I love audience interaction, getting to know people up close and in person. What’s your view on personal space – and should audience members come prepared for theirs to be invaded? Let’s have a night none of us will forget for the rest of our lives. Come in with an open mind, an open heart and be ready to leave your inhibitions at the door. I can’t tell you the MOST risque thing because it’s the climax of the show. And I love getting to know people in the audience. There can be the occasional boob that pops out. Pound It! is recommended for ages 16+, with coarse language and nudity … what are some of the most risqué elements of the show? I’ll be singing about love, drinking, sex, tits and more. What are some of the songs you’ll be singing at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival? People like Murray Hill, Justin Vivian Bond and legendary drag queen Sweetie were outrageous, funny, wild and so full of life! They were boundary pushers that inspired me to push limits, follow my heart and be exactly who I am when I perform. It wasn’t until I moved to NYC and saw what was happening in the clubs downtown that I found my true calling. I knew I wanted to be a singer and studied classically in college. My happiest memories from childhood are standing around the piano, everyone drunk and singing. My mom is a retired music teacher so I think it’s in my bones. When I’m not doing a show, you can usually catch me on the couch with a bottle of wine and my sweet Poppy.Īlthough you’re equally well known for your comedy, I’ve read that music is your driving passion – where did that love of singing come from? I have a dog (Poppy) that I’m madly in love with.
Is the off-stage Bridget as wild as the on-stage version? It’s hard to beat that dildo description! How do describe yourself and what you do? You’ve been described by others as everything from brash and bawdy to raw and riotous – and, my personal favourite, “a face-sitting, dildo-wielding, alt-cabaret provocateur”. In this Q and A with Adelaide InDaily‘s Suzie Keen, Everett talks the business of risque and gives a hint of what to expect when her show Pound It! hits the Dunstan Playhouse in Adelaide on June 9 and 10. New York singer and comedian Bridget Everett promises a wild night at her 2017 Adelaide Cabaret Festival show, warning audience members: ‘Be ready to leave your inhibitions at the door’.Įverett – who was a late cancellation on last year’s festival program – is one of 58 international and 372 Australian artists (see highlights below) on the program announced on Sunday by co-artistic directors Eddie Perfect and Ali McGregor.Ī classically trained singer who has her own band and had carved out a successful comedy-cabaret career with her in-yer-face live solo performances, Everett has also appeared in TV shows such as I nside Amy Schumer (Everett and Schumer are friends) and Two Broke Girls, and the film Trainwreck.
