To jumpstart a generation...

Comedian Michael Connell (Comedy Festival, Youngblood Tour) joined Candlelight for Squeaky Clean Comedy and he’s back! He merges stand up, film and music in an autobiographical show about learning how to be happy being ‘Just Me’. It’s an inspiring show about following your dreams…no matter what anyone else thinks.

He’s clean, legitimately funny, a sudoku champion and a supremo on the harmonica. This is your chance to see “a comedian with a promising career ahead of him” (Inpress) … His show is intelligent, moving, and most importantly, funny! “You’ll be impressed” (Beat Magazine).

Performances: Thurs 25th Sept – Sun 12th Oct
Tue-Sun @ 8.15pm
Matinees (Sat & Sun) @ 3pm [27-28 Sept, 11-12 Oct]

(No shows Oct. 4th or 5th Oct as he’ll be performing at Blackstump Arts Festival in NSW!)

Please spread the word and invite anyone you think might be interested or might benefit from hearing his story. School and community groups can contact Candlelight directly to discuss large group deals.

Tickets: $16 adult/$12 concession or groups of 6+

Four (Sept. 18th-20th) performances only!

Cute Girls Love to Crochet weaves heart-melting and witty words with beautiful, quirky music that sounds like it was written for the Amélie soundtrack. It is the follow-up to Chevalet’s gut-wrenchingly beautiful album A Souvenir of Sadness and A Bottle of Bliss, and this one is infused with a gentle hope and a striking beauty that makes you want to sit in a corner of a cafe in Paris and watch the world go by.

Cameron Semmens from the show Squeaky Clean Comedy (and resident poet on Light FM) returns in Chevalet with Mike Carney (composer, on piano) & Rod Gear (from Sons of Korah on double bass). Visit www.myspace.com/chevalet – listen to their music and you’ll fall in love with them too.

There are only 4 performances, so tickets are limited – book now to avoid missing out. It’s only 3 weeks away!

Bring knitting or crocheting to do on stage during the performance and they’ll buy you a drink…

Tickets: $20 adult/$15 concession or groups of 8+
