Broad – Geraldine Quinn

Bold dames, bejewelled tales, camo glamour meets ageing grace in this cabaret of self-discovery.

Multi-award winning rock cabaret artist Geraldine Quinn (Spick Specks, Upper Middle Bogan, The Weekly) returns with her first original show in four long years – BROAD.

Quinn grew up idolising fabulous, bold, brassy (mostly ginger) older women.

Now she’s become one.

So Quinn makes her overdue return to the cabaret stage to release everyone’s inner DGAF Dame Whether you want to unlock the Auntie Mame inside you, polish your brassiness or if (like Quinn) your knees just aren’t working anymore and you need to be near someone who understands.

All are welcome in The Broad Church.
