Hosted by:
Pamela Creed
August 5, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$40Melbourne’s artiste provocateurs Finucane & Smith return to the heart of Melbourne with FUTURE. JOY. CLUB. – a sultry decadent celebration of golden era burlesque and variety vanguard residing in the lush, mirrored ballroom of Sofitel Melbourne On Collins.
Led by gothic glamazon Moira Finucane, The FUTURE. JOY. CLUB. features the very best of Australia’s exquisite and explosive underground stars including the haunting voices of indie pop star Sophie Koh, Ngurlama jazz blues legend Lois Olney and Melbourne’s own transcendent songstress Mama Alto.
Glittering boylesque classically trained Indian dancer Govind Pillai, lightning rod burlesque artist Jazida, eyepopping club star Iva Rosebud and Cameroon/Parisian hip hop star Simon Abbe will also lay their talents bare within velvety surrounds.
With thanks to our member, Mr Clive Scott, General Manager of the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, we have organised a meet-and -greet after the show to ask all those questions accumulated throughout the performance!
A not-to-be-missed cultural life event with other members of the Melbourne Forum.
