Steven Oliver’s life in cabaret
Presented by La Boite, Sydney Opera House and W Lance Reynolds
“Leave your judgement at the door and everything you know…”
This is cabaret as you’ve never seen it before!
Bigger & Blacker is a comedy cabaret guaranteed to get you laughing, thinking and shimmying in your seats over one action-packed hour of entertainment.
Steven Oliver, the star of ABC’s hit television series Black Comedy, is fresh and fabulous in the world premiere production, based on his own life.
Bigger & Blacker combines comedy and contemplation with saucy gossip, reflections on love and loss and a candid look at the downside of fame.
As well as a seasoned performer, Oliver is a talented songwriter whose original score runs from perky pop to urban rap to lilting lullabies.
Throw in a disco ball, dance breaks and spicy banter between Oliver and his on-stage companion, musician Michael Griffiths, and you’re guaranteed a fun night out.
Bigger & Blacker makes its world premiere at La Boite from 8 – 27 March 2021.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, La Boite has limited the performances and capacity available to school groups. If you require a performance not listed above, please let us know and we will do our best to accomodate you.
