No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret
Apple on a stick. Makes us sick! Makes us crush Mikayla J’s diorama with a BRICK!
After a sell-out season at MICF, Samantha Andrew (TikTok, Baby Bi Bi Bi - Green Room award) and Mel O’Brien (Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical) are bringing this jam-packed, Glad Wrapped® cabaret adventure to Adelaide!
Featuring an all original soundtrack with songs including 'I Love You James.L' and 'I Am A Horse’ it’s a soft dodgeball to the head and the primary school fever dream (nightmare) that you DID NOT ask for. So wipe down ya recorder, cross your heart, hope to die and stick a Sunnyboy in your eye! This is Year 6.

Mel & Sam (Mel O'Brien and Samantha Andrew) are a queer comedy duo based in Melbourne bringing modern musical hits and pure tomfoolery to the cabaret and musical theatre scenes. In 2021, the pair debuted 'No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret' to rave reviews and sold-out crowds in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and then to festivals across the country. Being coined by The Herald Sun as "the future of Australian comedy", they are all about bringing a slick and youthful edge to the world of comedy cabaret all whilst proudly filling that hunger for some good old Gen Z fuckery!
