The nutty Kransky Sisters return with their cracker show on Saturday 2 December at The J in an hilarious performance to kick off the festive season.
In a quiet town in the middle of south-east Queensland lives a huddle of strange sisters, whom, in between tending ants, knitting egg warmers, and hanging out cane toad skins to dry, travel around the country performing their popular musical shows to a growing following. This oddball musical trio marry curious real life stories with a host of uniquely homemade arrangements of popular songs gleaned from their old wireless in a highly entertaining event.
With kitchen pot, toilet brush, keyboard, musical saw, tuba, guitar and duelling tambourines these three weird yet endearing spinsters present offbeat covers of songs ranging from Nana Mouskouri and The Eurythmics to Talking Heads and The Bee Gees.
The combination of the sisters’ sheltered view of the world seen through their superbly droll comic dialogue, and alluring musical sound makes this night out with your strange old aunts an unforgettable experience.
The Kransky Sisters have been regular guests on television including SBS’s In Siberia Tonight and ABC’s The Side Show and Spicks and Specks and BBC’s Comedy Shuffle.
In their next big performance, the musical sisters’ traditional Christmas festivities have until now been shrouded in secrecy.
For this very special season they let you into their world of egg nog, pantyhose and painted chokos.
From Enya to Silent Night, Daft Punk to The Twelve Days Of Christmas, these dysfunctional sisters take family get-togethers to a new level.
Come and join these off-the-wall siblings as they turn your Christmas into a stuffed ham.
With their unusual array of instruments from cheese grater to toilet brush, tuba to musical saw, settle in for what could be your kookiest Christmas party yet.
Tickets are via www.thej.com.au – 49.50 adult / $44.50 concession and groups 8+ and the show starts at 8pm.
