Not Another Indie Cabaret
Directed by Steven Gates (Tripod).
Armed with an omnichord (of course), a looping machine and a
wine-drenched trumpet kazoo, Jessamae St James is determined not to
perform ‘just’ another Indie Cabaret. Obviously, the challenge is real
(to reiterate: trumpet kazoo). And it’s cabaret right... Indie as hell?
The odds are ever in her favour.
A musical comedy that deconstructs the genre featuring original songs
played on ridiculous instruments.
Part self-deprecating reflection,
part ode to questionable adult-ing skills and part love letter to making
excellent life choices whilst drunk on eBay.
"The main event is St James' voice. It's a versatile and dramatic instrument." The Age
"A hit that is engaging, instantly receptive, and certainly entertaining... Jessamae St James has a smooth and enticing command with her performance style, and then knocks it out of the park with such a tremendous voice.” The Plus Ones
"5 stars. A+ Buyer. Would sell again." eBay
