2022-09-15 - 2022-09-25 | New South Wales
CHEEKY CABARET
Spring is in the air and what better reason to bring back the hottest show in town?
When the Brunswick Picture House first opened back in Easter 2016, we opened big, with a two-hour adult cabaret that would showcase some of the best talent on offer.
And now, 6 years on, the CHEEKY CABARET has become our signature show. It has redefined a night out at the theatre, smashing together circus, vaudeville, comedy, new burlesque and everything in between.
With a brand new cast each season or run, our patrons have spread the word up and down the Coast about the Cheeky and we are thrilled that some of the most incredible international artists from around the world are beating down the door to come to perform at the Brunswick Picture House.
Sexy and dangerous, with tongue placed firmly in cheek, this is one party you will not want to miss! The Cheeky has rightfully become the talk of the town – it’s circus like you’ve never seen before. This genre-bending cabaret is cheeky, clever and damn sexy, celebrating the weird, the wonderful and the wildly entertaining, leaving audiences gasping for more!
The Cheeky features a different cast of troubadours, miscreants, delectable divas and cabaret queens every month, so no two shows are ever the same! You’ll leave spellbound, titillated and amazed. As always, bring Grandma but leave the little ones at home.

Barrio’s BBQ with Guest Chef Ollie Wong
2022-07-20 17:00 - 22:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | New South Wales
Barrio’s BBQ with Guest Chef Ollie Wong
On Wednesday 20 July 2022, Chef Ollie Wong will be joining Barrio Eatery & Bar for one night to give a sneak preview into what to expect from his soon-to-open debut restaurant Bar Heather in Byron Bay. The Bar Heather team, who also own Byron’s favourite Luna Wine Store, will be pulling out some special and rare bottles from their cellar for the night, a taste of what is to come from their natural wine collection.
“I am excited to experiment in the kitchen of friends in town and show people what to expect from Bar Heather once we open. What informs us in the kitchen is firstly what is in the glass and then we work back from there rather than the other way around. With some of the world’s most precious natural wines swirling in the glasses at Bar Heather, the decision of what to cook opens up, and Barrio’s charcoal isn’t a bad place to start”. – Chef Ollie Wong
Guest Chef Ollie Wong (previously Ester, Sixpenny, Franklin, Agrarian Kitchen and Quay) ’s BBQ menu takes inspiration from the fresh produce available in the Northern Rivers, and dishes he has enjoyed along his journey.

CHEEKY CABARET! @ Bruns Picture House
2022-07-07 19:00 - 2022-07-17 21:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | New South Wales
CHEEKY CABARET
It may be winter but the hottest show in town is back for a big run through July holidays!
When the Brunswick Picture House first opened back in Easter 2016, we opened big, with a two-hour adult cabaret that would showcase some of the best talent on offer. And now, 6 years on, the CHEEKY CABARET has become our signature show.
It has redefined a night out at the theatre, smashing together circus, vaudeville, comedy, new burlesque and everything in between. With a brand new cast each season or run, our patrons have spread the word up and down the Coast about the Cheeky and we are thrilled that some of the most incredible international artists from around the world are beating down the door to come to perform at the Brunswick Picture House.
Sexy and dangerous, with tongue placed firmly in cheek, this is one party you will not want to miss! The Cheeky has rightfully become the talk of the town — it’s circus like you’ve never seen before. This genre-bending cabaret is cheeky, clever and damn sexy, celebrating the weird, the wonderful and the wildly entertaining, leaving audiences gasping for more!
The Cheeky features a different cast of troubadours, miscreants, delectable divas and cabaret queens every month, so no two shows are ever the same! You’ll leave spellbound, titillated and amazed.
As always, bring Grandma but leave the little ones at home.
