General Admission

It's 'Assigned Puppet At Birth' with very special guest, Issy Coomber! Following an incredible season at the Adelaide Fringe, join Issy as they navigate life as a trans person in an often unaccepting industry, while simultaneously paying homage to a certain variety TV show hosted by a very charming (and deliberately unnamed) felt frog.
Issy dives into the importance of queer community (or shall we say, rainbow connection - wink wink) and choosing joy as a form of resistance. A cabaret clusterf**ck of completely original music, jaw-dropping vocals, side-splitting comedy, bitter-sweet stories, terrific tap-dancing, and lots and lots of puppets, 'Assigned Puppet At Birth' is as joyfully camp as it is bitingly authentic - and not a show to be missed!
"★★★★★ - a show that balanced silliness with sincerity, a testament to Coombers’ range and unmistakable presence onstage." - Upside Adelaide
Performer, Producer, and Writer: Issy Coomber
Director, Co-Writer, and Marketing: Rhys Stewart
Composer: Josh Belperio
Co-composers: Eligh Dungey, Natalie Winsall, Matt Hawke
