Cheeky Cabaret | Brunswick Picture House
2023-09-22 19:00 - 2023-10-08 21:00 | Brunswick Picture House, 30 Fingal Street, Brunswick Heads, New South Wales, 2483, Australia
After the biggest Cheeky season to date, Brunswick Picture House is celebrating by offering another big run of an all-new Cheeky Cabaret. The reputation of this outrageous genre-bending show has spread like wildfire with its often weird and always fabulous line-up and is without question the wildest night of entertainment you’ll have in the Northern Rivers!
Cheeky Cabaret has redefined a night out at the theatre, smashing together circus, vaudeville, comedy, new burlesque and everything in between. The Cheeky features a different cast of troubadours, miscreants, delectable divas and cabaret queens every season, so no two shows are ever the same! You’ll leave spellbound, titillated and amazed.
Think you’ve seen it all?! Think again… as here in this unlikely little venue is where the magic really happens.
AND ONE MORE THING…
The Cheeky may contain some brief or full nudity, raucous adult language and highly suggestive or sexual humour. The acts are never gratuitous or in vain; they are intended to titillate, to make your jaws drop, and always to entertain, with tongue firmly planted in cheek. A variety show like the Cheeky means that there is something for everyone, and conversely, some acts may not be to your liking. You may wish to cover your eyes or your ears, but never ever don’t at least give the Cheeky a try!
As always, bring Grandma but leave the little ones at home.
Please note:
Audience must be 15yrs+
The show is approximately 90–100 minutes with 20-minute intermission.
Doors open 20 minutes before showtime.

Thursday 7pm
Friday 7pm

Italian Film Festival | Palace Cinemas
2023-09-28 19:00 - 2023-10-18 18:45 | Palace Cinema, 108 Jonson Streeet, Byron Bay, NSW, 2481, Australia
Twenty four years ago after realising that Australia had many film festivals, but nothing dedicated to Italian cinema Antonio Zeccola, owner of Palace Cinemas, started The Italian Film Festival in November 2000 in Sydney and Melbourne. It was a resounding success.
Fast forward to 2023 and Australia’s annual celebration of Italy’s best and brightest on the big screen will be opening in Byron Bay at the Palace Cinema, Jonson Street on 28 September and running until 18 October.
Opening with The Last Night of Amore, get ready to be treated to a taut, stylish crime thriller set in the streets of Milan. Making its Australian premiere after a successful stint at the Italian box office, writer/director Andrea Di Stefano’s police flick stars Pierfrancesco Favino (The Hummingbird) and tells of an about-to-retire honest cop facing a chaotic, crime-riddled, corruption-fuelled situation.
Also among the event’s spotlight flicks, Kidnapped sits in the centrepiece slot, recreating the tale of the Vatican’s abduction of a young Jewish boy in the 19th century, plus as the scandal that unsurprisingly followed. As part of a focus on actor, filmmaker and screenwriter Massimo Troisi, 1994’s The Postman, the talent’s two-time Oscar-nominated final film, will close out the fest with a 50s-set whirlwind of love and friendship.
Organised exclusively by Palace, the festival continues to present the best new contemporary Italian cinema and most cherished classics on the big screen. For more than two decades the Festival has celebrated Italian language, culture and la dolce vita with an ever-growing audience.

The 2023 Festival will open with the premiere of One Life starring Sir Anthony Hopkins. Based on a deeply moving true story of kindness and compassion that was almost forgotten for 50 years, Hopkins delivers a remarkable performance as Sir Nicholas Winton, also known as the “British Schindler”, who helped rescue hundreds of children from Europe on the verge of World War II.
The Critic is a wickedly mischievous reimagining of Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call, featuring an all-star cast led by Sir Ian McKellen and Gemma Arterton.
Closing the Festival is the Australian Premiere of Wicked Little Letters, based on a true scandal of the 1920s. It stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley as neighbours in a small town whose residents start receiving anonymous, expletive-laden letters.
The 2023 British line up showcases a superb selection of documentaries. My Name is Alfred Hitchcock, is extensively and intricately researched, weaving footage from virtually every film Hitchcock made to offer a fresh profile of the masterful movie maker and his practice; Jackie Stewart, a compelling documentary profile of Formula 1 World Champion, team owner and legend of the sport;
The above featured image is from Anton Corbijn’s profile of Hipgnosis the iconic album art design studio that rock royalty used during the 1970s designing iconic album covers for bands including Pink Floyd, Wings, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC in Squaring the Circle – The Story of Hipgnosis.

Byron Writers Festival is thrilled to present Robyn Davidson, explorer and author of the international bestseller Tracks, for an intimate conversation with Zacharey Jane about her memoir Unfinished Woman at Byron Theatre on Friday 8 December.
Davidson’s free spirit has taken her off the beaten path motivated by an unquenchable curiosity about other ways of seeing and understanding the world. Best known for her epic solo odyssey across the Australian outback with four camels & a dog in 1977, Davidson’s first book Tracks was an international sensation, later adapted into a film starring Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver.
Now, Davidson has turned to explore the terrain she had avoided the most – the past. Hailed as ‘an extraordinary memoir about an extraordinary life’ (Nikki Gemmell), Unfinished Woman is an unforgettable investigation of time and memory, and a powerful interrogation of how we can live with and find beauty in the uncertainty and strangeness of being.
Join Robyn Davidson as she discusses her brave and revealing memoir, which asks the eternal question: how do we learn to be ‘at home everywhere’?
Book your tickets now to this special event with one of the most adventurous writers in Australian literature. Friday 8 December, 6pm at Byron Theatre.
