FRANKLY: UP THE SLEEVE

Doors 7:00pm Performance 7:30pm FRANKLY, award-winning musician, comedian and cabaret writer, makes her Motley Bauhaus debut, in this rare double set not to be missed! Crude, candid, and chaotic, FRANKLY will be swearing like a sailor and singing like a siren, serving up the very best of her genre-blurring catalogue, sharing songs and stories, with a healthy pour of Savvy B. Loved by audiences for her lively, off-kilter stage presence and willingness to absorb them into her strange internal world, FRANKLY’s left-of-field approach to everyday ideas makes her as relatable as she is memorable. A bit Lana Del Rey meets Tom Waits…kinda Beck meets Lily Allen…FRANKLY’s piano-led sound blends intelligent songwriting with playful theatrics - a catchy chorus and a provocative wit always at the centre of her work. Featuring her latest “normal songs,” cherry picked cabaret and her favourite musical comedy perversions, whether you’re in the mood for a tear jerking ballad or a pant-wetting banger, FRANKLY has it up her sleeve. ________________________________________________________________________ ★★★★★ "HER CLEVER CATCHY SONGS WILL HAVE YOU SINGING ALONG BY THE SECOND CHORUS" - Weekend Notes ★★★★★ "AN EXCEPTIONALLY-SNAZZY OFFERING FILLED WITH FRANKLY'S UNSTOPPABLE LYRICAL INGENIOUS AND LOVEABLE STORYTELLING" - Your Local Hok ★★★★.5 "ZANY, QUIRKY, WHACKO, ECCENTRIC, WEIRD, PROVOCATIVE - SHE'S WONDERFUL TO WATCH!" - The Clothesline ★★★★.5 "IRRESISTABLE CHARM...A PLEASURE TO SPEND TIME WITH" - See Do Eat Review NOMINEE, ‘Outstanding Original Songs', Green Room Awards 2024 JUDGE'S PICK, Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023 WINNER, Frank Ford Award 2022 WINNER, 'Best Emerging Artist' (weekly) Adelaide Fringe Festival 2019
