5 Good Reasons To See DIRTY SEXY POLITICS

1. POLITICS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE:

What do Charles Manson, Clive Palmer and the world’smost patriotic burlesque routine have in common? There’s only one way to find out – by coming on down to witness the most turgid, throbbing election in this nation’s history.

2. DIRTY SEXY RELEVANT THEMES:

With 100% original music and biting up-to-the-minute commentary, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of Australian politics! We’ve got our finger on something, anyway. It’s definitely pulsing.

3. DIRTY SEXY LOCATION:

We’re at The Butterfly Club, and The Butterfly Club is the coolest venue in Melbourne. The drinks are delicious and the staff are beautiful angels.

4. DIRTY SEXY RECOMMENDATIONS:

We won awards for Best Production and Best Original Music at the Short+Sweet Festivals in two states, and we’ve been described as “The logical successors to the Wharf Revue”. It’s true – we will ascend their charnel throne and, yea, there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth. Any day now.

5. DIRTY SEXY ENTERTAINMENT:

We’re ready to rub some grit into this sunburnt country and we’d love for you to join us. You will marvel. You will cry. You will laugh hard enough to empty your Lower House, guaranteed. Dirty Sexy Politics: Connect with your member today!
