LIVE in CANBERRA
Sunday 23 March, 2025
Experience the outrageous talents of BRAD COOPER and BEV KENNEDY as they embark on a wild Weimar fuelled evening of satire, hedonism, innuendo and gay abandon.
Hurtle headfirst into the songs and stories of Weill, Spoliansky, Holländer, Korngold, Eisler, Stolz, Mackeben and more...
From devastation to celebration, BERLIN ELECTRIC is an evening of German Kabarett not to be missed!

BERLIN ELECTRIC began life as my 2020 'Lockdown Project'.
As soon as the NSW Government allowed people to invite a sole person to their house I called my collaborative partner, the gorgeously wonderful pianist Ms Bev Kennedy and said I had a new cabaret programme I wanted to develop based around the songs of the Weimar Era.
My days became wonderfully filled listening to countless songs, ordering sheet music from Germany, Austria, the USA and Paris and then we set to work exploring in excess of 40 songs to come up with our final set list with the aim that the songs would help tell the stories of the songs' composers and performers during this exciting, turbulent and ultimately uplifting time.
What resulted was a show that has not only been my most successful box office wise, playing to sell out audiences at ETERNITY THEATRE for Darlinghurst Theatre Company, Claire's Kitchen at le Salon in Sydney, The Chalet in Medlow Bath and Broken Hill Art Gallery, but ultimately a show I'm incredibly proud of and that people have enjoyed so much.
I'm absolutely thrilled the show has been picked up internationally, firstly by Chelsea Theatre in London in 2021 and now for the Markideo in Paphos in 2022.
Come and join in the fabulous Weimar fun!
