Look out Melbourne. The high priestess of underground music comedy is medicated.
Following up her sold out Melbourne International Comedy Festival hit The Passion of Saint Nicholas, Geraldine Quinn (Spicks and Specks) draws from the bottomless well of music industry ego-projects to present Bastard Joy, a mash-up of concert and (imaginary) legacy that would inspire Cher and make J-Lo embarrassed by her own pathetic efforts.
Coinciding with her 20th year of Melbourne International Comedy Festival, get front-row access as Geraldine – the recipient of four major comedy nominations and over 35 Green Room Award cabaret nominations – explodes onto the stage in a night to remember. Weaving a history of slippery veracity about the definitely real impact of Geraldine – an electro-clash melding of ‘documentary’ and live music parody of a legend that never was.
Part revisionist history, part fantasy, part club event – all glorious. This is Bastard Joy.
