Galah Galah
This very loud little girl was handed down two things: a nickname comparing her to a noisy bird, and a lot of high expectations.
The newest work by Gemma Caruana, recently branded as "the new face and brain of modern cabaret" by Theatre Matters, 'Galah Galah' features hilarious and heart-wrenching stories that every high-achiever-perfectionist-anxiety-ridden-eldest-sister type will find scarily familiar.
Directed by powerhouse creative Sarah Frencham, 'Galah Galah' is a cabaret that critics and audiences alike have been waiting for.

Laughing, cringing and almost in tears... (her show was) funny, explorative and insightful. I can’t stress enough, this show is for everyone - Cassandra Johns, Fresh 92.7
Flawless comedic timing, Gemma has the audience eating out of her hand. A tender & brilliant masterpiece...you'll be sorry if you miss it! - Heather Bosted, Theatre Matters
Incredibly funny, very deep, emotional, & intensely raw. Musical theatre, cabaret & comedy blended together in perfect harmony. Outstanding. - Jarrad Jenkins, Lilithia Reviews
Really, really funny! Tells her story with unfailingly good humour. If you don’t laugh you’d cry. Whole lot of love and the heart of a lion. - Peter Burdon, The Advertiser
Forget bad art! Her confidence is well-earned...tightly focused, urgent & often boisterously funny. A force of nature. - Daniel Herborn, The Saturday Paper
