1- You have parents that drive you crazy and you need to vent vicariously through Jeeves’s comedy
2- You left a potentially high-paying career to “follow your dreams” and you need validation for your choices
3- You have an ethnic background that doesn’t in anyway influence you as an Australian but everyone else assumes it does.
4- You’ve suspected for a long time that endorphins are a myth because no one could ever feel that good after killing themselves at the gym. Also they sound like they might actually be a mythical creature… Endorphins.
5- You love cats.

1. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure show where the audience picks what they want to see in the show. It’s like Goosebumps without all the ghosts and slime monsters and stuff. Or is it…….
2. It’s actually two shows! That’s right. Circus and Hollywood. I wrote two shows like a big dummy. But both of them are real fun and good and you get to pick which one you want to see at the start. You’re in charge! Which is not at all intimidating for me AHAHAHAHA oh god.
3. Hot Patootie is fun to say. Go yell it at the top of your lungs in the middle of the street, “HOT PATOOTIE”. See? So much fun!
4. There are animal hats. So many animal hats.
5. They are very silly shows but also fun and meaningful so you’ll feel super nice after you leave. Like a big ol’ warm hug from your favourite crazy Auntie.

1) Hello, Mrs Eileen Williams here to tell you why you should come to see Irrelevant at the Butterfly Club at the end of March. It will be quite the social occasion. I will be there in support, but of course more importantly my husband, Mr Howard Williams, will be there and will have wonderful, relevant opinions on things.
2) Howard is a very good husband and takes very good care of me. In fact, he takes excellent care of all his things. His golf clubs are very shiny.
3) Although it might seem that the word âIrrelevantâ is very long and not suitable for women, it turns out itâs just a three syllable word with a little hat on. So, all invited.
4) Did you know that back in the 1950s the word âapplesauceâ was – ahem, excuse me – an expletive? It was a very dangerous decade for cooking pork dishes let me tell you.
5) Iâm so sorry, my husband Howard has just reminded me that it is not the wifeâs duty to enter into correspondence with tabloids unless typing for her husband. This is ever so embarrassing. Please disregard this email.
Michelle Nussey as Eileen Williams in Irrelevant is on at the Butterfly Club 22 -27 March
*Note it starts on Tue the 22nd

1. Jude has been funded by The Sugar Co, so the show will have
really high production value*
Thatâs right! Jude has sold her music and brand to a sugar company
and now they are controlling everything she does. They have funded
her album and her shows and you know when a giant, heartless
corporation are backing an artistic project, nothing could possibly go
wrong or be misinterpreted! More info here:
*Due to budget complications, no actual funding has gone into the
production value of this show
2. You will feel better about yourself
Because Jude no longer has any integrity since sheâs become a puppet
for a sugar company, watching a complete sell-out for an hour will
undoubtedly make you feel so much better about yourself, no matter
what situation you are in
3. The Butterfly Club is properly one of the most ambient places to
hang out at
This venue is perfect for trying to impress a date with itâs romantic
lighting and quirky dĂ©cor, or maybe youâre catching up with a friend who
you havenât seen in a long time and youâre worried you wonât have
much to talk about, and youâll say âso what have you been up to?â and
theyâll say âyeah just working and I moved last month so been busy with
thatâ and you say âoh coolâ and then it goes really quiet and no one
says anything for a while. Well, at Butterfly Club there is so much stimuli
in every corner of the venue, you will never be at a loss for things to be
distracted by and look at and go âoh wow, look at that portrait of one of
the guards from Jabbaâs palace!â Conversation revitalized. Thank you
Butterfly Club
4. Jude is launching her debut album with this show, but the songs
in this show are not on the album, and this will be the only way
you can hear them for quite a while
Jude is already a prolific songwriter. She is launching an album that is
available here: www.judeperl.bandcamp.com But the album doesnât
have her music comedy tracks. Her comedy has been described as:
âInsanely clever and comical songwriting. Her lyrics are insightful
and hilarious because of their honesty, and her talent for writing
hugely enjoyable music only makes the comedy stronger.â –
Melbourne Observer
âExtremely entertaining and honest comedy at itâs musical best. If
good comedy and good music is your recipe for a good night out
then this show is a mustâ – Theatre Press
âwhat makes Jude so brilliant is that her songs are simply so
funny.â -Illegitimate Theatre
You must attend this show in order to see her acclaimed comedy and
songwriting and to hear the full story behind the album she is launching.
You will not be disappointed, unless something really disappointing
happened the same day you see the show, and thatâs hardly Judeâs
fault, unless it was something Jude did, in which case sheâs really sorry
and promises to not do it again, unless itâs something she does all the
time.
5. Jude is unable to give you a 5th reason as she is contractually
obligated to mention The Sugar Co again, so please enjoy these
advertisements for some of their amazing products from over the
years!
