Australian Exclusive

New York cabaret trailblazer Salty Brine delivers the latest chapter in his collage-cabaret cult-hit Living Record Collection with a bravura mash-up of high drama, indie rock and memoir.    

Bigmouth Strikes Again is a fever-dream fusion of The Smiths 1981 album The Queen Is Dead, Shelley’s Frankenstein, and his own lived experience – this is literature and live music with great lashes of camp.  

Pussy-bowed, frocked up and unleashing his incredible voice, Salty’s idiosyncratic tapestries of storytelling intertwine tales from his own life with Victor Frankenstein’s chilling creation – and Morrissey's own melodic melancholy.   

From sold-out runs at Joe’s Pub (NYC) to Soho Theatre (London), Salty Brine’s genre-bending shows dazzle and disarm.  He’s taken on Adele, The Beatles, even opera – now, he welds post-punk anthems to classic literature and sparks something new. It's alive!   


★★★★★ “A brilliant night out…five stars for this just aren’t enough”

THEATRE AND TONIC
