Direct from its premiere at the 2019 Sydney Cabaret Festival, and updated during lockdown, join Biggins and Scott as they give a veritable masterclass in cabaret – with neither the mastery nor class. Together, these lightly-seasoned performers examine the many strands of the cabaret art form – Audition Cabaret, Name-Drop Cabaret, Weimar, Broadway, Political, and the ever-popular “Rehash Some Old Material During the Lockdown.”

Aside from their Wharf Revue fame, which has made them a household word from Casula to Nunawading, Jonathan Biggins is well known as a performer, playwright, director, host and satirist. Phil Scott is a writer, actor, pianist and composer, who won awards for his solo cabaret performance in Reviewing the Situation, and co-wrote many shows with Trevor Ashley, including Fat Swan, The Bodybag and The Lyin’ Queen.

The team at Riverside Theatres have worked hard to create Riverside Theatres Digital, a brand-new unique viewing experience, ensuring audiences can stay connected and entertained over this time. The concerts will be fully live multi-camera events, streaming live from Riverside Theatres into your home. This concert will be available once only on YouTube.

No Cabaret for Old Men will be presented on Sunday 7 June 2020 at 5.00pm. The performance has a “Choose what you pay” ticketing option with a minimum ticket price of only $12. For more information, visit: www.riversideparramatta.com.au for details.
