November 2009

Hi Everybody!

What a month!  It's been a bit of a crazy one here at The Manly Sisters HQ, from venue hunting, to show producing, and of course a bit of performing too, we haven't even had time to scratch our heads (with or with a wig on!).

After a few false starts, and just when we though we'd be heading back to Templebar, our plans were once again thrown in the air with the news that the the final curtain had fallen on Templebar itself, with owner Herman deciding to sell the popular cabaret venue.  

With stiletto's in hand, we rushed off in search of a new venue, but after stumbling through the doors of the delightful Dantes in Fitzroy, we knew the search was over before it even began!  And with that, The Manly Sisters & Spag n Drag were back in business! 

Check out our upcoming shows below, and make sure you visit our new facebook pages for both Spag n Drag and The Manly Sisters.  

That's about all from me for now... hope you've all had a great month, and look forward to seeing you at a show real soon. Check out our website for all the details on our upcoming shows.  Till next time, stay safe, well and fabulous...

Manly Sister News

July 2009

Hi Everybody,

  
I'm so excited... and I just cant hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.. thank goodness I got that out of my system lol!

Lots of exciting news this month, but firstly I wanted to tell you all about my very own one 'woman' show...  It's called 'Close Shave... with Jillette 'the best a man can get'.  As a performer you're always looking for new challenges and new hurdles, or as Mark Holden might say tyring to 'raise the bar'.  So when the opportunity arose to do a solo season at Templebar , I couldn't refuse.  The season will run for six weeks, and starts on the 17th July.  There's some info below, or check out our 'on stage' page for booking details.  

Anyway, enough bout me!  It's time to take you "Back to the 80's", my favourite period of music, and The Manly Sisters first full production show for the year! (I know, it seems like it was only a few weeks ago The Movie Musicals show was closing).

But this isn't just another drag show, we're putting on a night that will cater for everyone - it's about great music, happy hour drinks, a fab dance floor, table seating, finger food, plus a venue that can handle group bookings, while still having room to put on a great show.  What more could you want?! 

Not only will you get The Manly Sisters, you'll have music from the award winning Guy DJ, an option for your group to have table seating and finger food on arrival, plus a huge stage to dance the night away throughout the night.  All this at the fabulous Bar 362 in St Kilda.  ..and for those of you worried about the whereabouts of Claire 'with the hair', she's coming along too, this time round as our stage manager!  We're calling it The Manly's Monthly, and it's the only place in town you'll get to see our new 'Back to the 80's' show!

Thats about all from me... hope you've all had a great month, and look forward to seeing you at a show real soon.  Till next time, stay safe, well and fabulous...

Hi Everybody,

  
Welcome to the latest Jack & Jill News! In what will be no surprise for those of you who have visited our website lately, The Jack and Jill Show has gotten a little bit bigger!   

To begin with, we've welcomed two new cast members - Christina Andrews and Miss Bunny (we worked with both of them in The Sound of Music Drag Show and Grease the Drag Show!), and to accommodate our growth, we've changed our name to The Manly Sisters Drag Show! 

No need to worry though, Jackie, Claire and myself are still here and the craziness that was the Jack and Jill Show is sure to continue for some time yet!

Check out the latest news from The Manly Sisters
