Salty Brine
USA
Salty Brine teaches the tricks of the cabaret trade.

Toggle Description
Australian Exclusive

Infusing Salty Brine’s signature blend of wit, heart, and theatrical audacity, this workshop channels the high-camp, high-heart style that has made his Living Record Collection a hit from New York to London.

You’ll learn how to treat a record of your choice as a “structural blueprint” for theatrical invention. Together, you’ll unpack themes, emotional arcs and cultural resonance, then layer in personal narrative, archival gems and an audacious stage persona.

Along the way, Salty will share how to time reveals, build audience rapport, and twist the familiar into the fabulously unexpected, leaving you with tools to craft music-driven storytelling that dazzles.

Places are limited. Apply for this workshop via the button below. 

If you're successful in securing a place in the workshop, the fee includes your workshop participation and a ticket to Salty Brine’s show Bigmouth Strikes Again (The Smiths Show) as part of the 2026 Sydney Festival.

He is the creative force behind The Living Record Collection, a series of cabaret performances which weave together iconic, popular albums with cultural touchstones from classic literature to history and beyond. The LRC contains twenty-one shows and counting. The Guardian says Salty is, “a storyteller in total command of voice, a cocked eyebrow and his audience”. Salty has presented works at Lincoln Center, Pangea, Soho Theater and at his artistic home, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre. He is the recipient of a Bistro Award for outstanding creative artistry, was a member of the Joe’s Pub Working Group (2020) and was named one of Time Out New York’s “LGBTQ influencers you should know”.
