most talented, original and irresistible cabaret acts to Brisbane: Camille
O'Sullivan's The Dark Angel, Mikelangelo & The Black Sea Gentlemen
and, direct from Paris, Ronan/Ronan. In her multi-award-winning show,
the versatile, unpredictable and enchanting Camille performs the songs
of Nick Cave, Jacques Brel, Tom Waits and David Bowie, transforming
effortlessly with each song. The deeply funny gypsy outfit, Mikelangelo
& The Black Sea Gentlemen, brings its unique brand of Kabaret Noir to
take audiences on an emotional, if somewhat satirical, journey. Jumping

partly what makes this quintet of characters so madly appealing.
