Briefs: Bite Club is a unique concept and great fun – review
We’re not quite sure how to explain Briefs, for those who’ve not seen the Australian troupe before. It’s quite the theatre spectacle – part burlesque, part cabaret, part circus, part comedy and a whole lot of fun. For their new show Bite Club they also have a live band, fronted by vocalist Sahara Beck who performs a number of original songs.

It has been a minute since the “PUT YOUR FUCKING PAWS UP!” disco stick-wielding Lady Gaga made her mark on stages around the world.

In the midst of the pandemic, the star finally – we repeat, finally! – re-embraced her pop roots and bombastic stage persona…

Originally expected to debut in summer 2020 but delayed two years due to Covid, it’s now on in the coveted prime slot of the Open Air Theatre’s summer season.
