A topless woman, wearing a Mother Mary halo, pointing at her ring finger, surrounded by flowers. Wearing red lipstick, with a ribbon banner that reads That's NOT Amore.
A woman wearing a gold leafed crown, red fluffy gown and red lipstick. Flickering her hair back with pride. Being watched by a sold out audience.

That's NOT Amore

Experience an award-winning, ★★★★★ cabaret like no other, where the essence of Italian culture meets feminist wit in a performance that's both heartwarming and hilariously poignant.

This show delves into the Italian-Australian experience, unraveling the layers of generational trauma, personal worth, and the profound value of women through a comedic lens.

Celebrate the traditions, dialects, and timeless values preserved by immigrants who journeyed across the seas.

For Italians, by Italians, and anyone who’s ever savoured a plate of pasta… Mamma Mia! With a soundtrack that will both warm your heart and tickle your tastebuds, Carla’s performance will inspire, entertain, and envelop you in a delightful embrace of AMORE!
