In an electrifying blend of comedy, cabaret, and vocal wizardry, the Adelaide Fringe is set to be taken by storm with the South Australian premiere of ‘Leather Lungs: Shut Up and Sing!’, running from Tuesday the 27th of February to Sunday the 17th of March at The Lark at Gluttony.
Fresh from his acclaimed sell-out shows across Australia and a notable debut at the Edinburgh Fringe as part of the 2023 House of Oz program, Leather Lungs, the master of falsetto, stiletto, and savage wit, is ready to dazzle audiences once again.
Renowned for a voice that spans over four octaves, drawing comparisons to the flamboyance of Prince, the force of Aretha, and the mind-blowing range of Freddie Mercury, Leather Lungs marries outrageous innuendo with a voice Express Magazine hailed as “to die for.” This performance is an invitation to experience liberation, restoration, and vocal sensation on an unprecedented level.
After clinching the Best Cabaret Weekly Awards in 2020 and 2021, Leather Lungs is promising a heart-stopping show that celebrates the power of rebirth and joy amidst life’s inevitable challenges. ‘It’s time to Shut Up and Sing. For me, this show is about a rebirthing of Leather Lungs and simply acknowledging where I’m at in my life: facing demons, sure, but laying on buckets of comedy and bringing joy to the world!’, shares the cabaret powerhouse.
‘A lot of the themes are universal, and I believe the show is going to be special to a lot of people, particularly at this time when the world is going through testing and perilous times. Lots of heartfelt moments, but always some naughty ones too!’
Leather Lungs’ journey from performing for the Beckhams to touring with Adele in 2017 and headlining the inaugural Broken Heel Festival highlights a dazzling career and a commitment to entertaining audiences worldwide.
Now calling Australia home, this ‘Kwazzie’ (Kiwi-Aussie) is thrilled to bring his latest spectacle to Adelaide, featuring mesmerising renditions of anthems by ABBA, Elvis, Whitney, Liza, and more, promising an unforgettable night of debauchery, belly laughs, and celebration.
