Frankly is shown with her hands raised, the shadows of her hands cast on the wall behind her. She is wearing a puffy floral dress, a pink headband and thick winged eyeliner on her eyes. Her expression is mysterious: an air of calm, yet a flame of sass under the slightest of smirks

FRANKLY is ducking slightly, arms blocking in front of her face.

Frankly is shown reaching her hands out in front of her face. Her eyes are wide and shocked.

Scold’s Bridle

Cabaret • Storytelling

Bold, agitating and unmissable, Frankly's award-winning response to her favourite questions is back to ruffle some feathers!

Told with agency and an inability to be ignored, see Kaurna's chaotic cabaret queen float effortlessly between stand-up, song, and story, as she pieces together how a lifetime of social conditioning led her to be vulnerable to and accepting of male violence.

The resident mess of swearing and oversharing, Frankly's magic lies in her ability to bring all that dare deep into her universe. Be held, through every sensitivity, with sprinklings of silly, in a cabaret like no other.

Meet FRANKLY!

A facilitator of fun with a sensitive soul to make you swoon, Kaurna's resident mess of swearing and oversharing can always promise you honesty. I mean, her name quite literally means it!

Loved by her audiences for her infectious spirit, quick wit and insatiable drive to connect, FRANKLY has been creating intimate performances for the better part of a decade.

Her career highlights include: breaking every family-friendly-content contract she's ever signed, getting tradies to dirty dance on a bar chair and taking out the 2022 Frank Ford Award for her feminist hell-scape, 'Scold's Bridle'.

Coming at you like a tweaked-out Regina Spektor, her work is deeply human, risk-takingly honest and celebrates the pits and peaks of existence.
