September 28th, 2024Superstars heading to Lyonville’s Radio Springs

Australia’s music and comedy superstars have dazzled and enthralled huge audiences around the world…but now they are headed to a retro performance space in Lyonville’s Radio Springs Hotel to play a unique live show.      

Less than 40 people at a time will get into this remarkable venue and the shows will run for about 90 minutes.

The MC will be Australia’s most experienced comedy compere Simon Rogers who will interview each star about their careers, their best gigs and their worst gigs and take questions from the audience.

He says he loves the vibe of this small theatre experience with its classic movie seating, tiny stage, choc tops for sale, lush red velvet curtains and intimate atmosphere.

The shows are deliberately in the moment and won’t be podcast or recorded.      

“It’s a one-off experience. It’s the cream of Australia’s performing arts chatting to me and you and a few friends and if you ain’t there you miss out.

“It’s not a TED talk – you can’t watch it again and again on YouTube, the bloopers won’t be turned into memes… It’s more like Midnight in Paris where you’ve accidentally stumbled into a dinner party of comedy and music icons and they invite you to sit around the table and have a chat.”      

Before or after the events, guests enjoy fine food and wine in front of a crackling wood fire and can even stay overnight in one of the beautiful, olde-style bedrooms.      

The “An Afternoon With …” series will host regular shows on a Sunday afternoon throughout 2024 with more headliners to be announced soon for 2025.      

So far songbird royalty Marina Prior and her husband renowned actor Grant Piro perform on October 6, comedy legend Tony Martin on October 13, star of The Merger and Double Act comedian Damian Callinan on November 10, stand-up comedian and broadcaster Richard Stubbs on November 17, and the musical genius of David Bridie, frontman of My Friend the Chocolate Cake and Not Drowning Waving will be shared on December 1.
