Overview

Presented by Townsville City Council & Geraldine Quinn

BROAD is a spandex-busting hour of acclaimed songwriting, show-stopping vocals, belly laughs, and defiance, wrapped up in royal-blue sequins and gold stack heels. Crowds were left buoyed and dazzled by this latest original cabaret from musical comedian Geraldine Quinn (Spicks & Specks).

BROAD explores what it’s like to grow up admiring older, iconic women like Rhonda Burchmore and Vivienne Westwood, and suddenly finding you’re slowly becoming one…

After two years as MC of Circus Oz’s hit NEON, Quinn made a triumphant return to cabaret, in a career which has earned her 4–5-star reviews in Australia, NZ and UK. From an artist with more than 35 award nominations and wins, BROAD was a spectacular come-back. Quinn ended her 2022 Melbourne Comedy Festival run with sold out crowds, extra shows, and nominations for both Most Outstanding Show and Best Local Independent Production – making it the most award-nominated show of the entire festival.

Not too shabby – for an old broad.

Seating at the tables includes a 2-course meal.

"An uplifting and energetic celebration of longevity."  Chortle (UK)
"Her uncanny knack for handling everything from torch songs to musical comedy is both impressive and jaw-dropping." Theatre People
"There isn't a wrong note in this one-hour ode to the sisterhood that you absolutely should snap up tickets to see." Time Out Melbourne
