“Everything new is old again?!”
Yes they’re back! Following their brand new show for Sydney Festival at The Famous Spiegeltent, Mic Conway’s National Junk Band are back, presenting another new creation: “Vaudevillia”.
Based on the old Vaudeville program intermingling segments of music, magic, dance, comedy, sight acts and more, the Junk Band have created a recipe for mirth, mayhem and madness, with SPECIAL GUESTS as stunning and startling additions to the bizarre and prodigious talents exhibited by members of the Junk Band.
Jug band blues, political satire and lunatic on-stage antics combine as a new-vaudevillian comedy cabaret. Audiences know Mic Conway’s tongue-in-cheek style from “Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band” and “Circus Oz”. From Byron Bay Bluesfest to Port Fairy and Adelaide Cabaret Festival… the National Junk Band have become festival favourites for their unique collision of fire, illusion, passion, irreverent satire, magic, singing saws, flying chooks, musical mayhem and some very funny songs.
Expect the unexpected as these “virtuosos of the bizarre” create a live stage experience that must be seen and heard to be believed. Wielding National guitars, ukuleles, a sousaphone, a phono-fiddle, actual garbage cans and metal sinks, there really is nothing like them in Australia today.
It’s a 21st Century recreation of Vaudeville atmosphere and charm, and what better venue than the fabulous Camelot.
So don’t be an April Fool, come on down and discover entertainment as it should be: Vaudevillia.
Premiering at Camelot on Friday 1st April, but this is no April fools joke!
