Experience the Best of Music and Comedy at Enmore Theatre: May 2025 Lineup
May 2025 promises a vibrant array of performances at Enmore Theatre, Newtown, Australia, featuring a diverse lineup that ranges from the nostalgic sounds of Slowdive to the witty humor of James Flavin and the enduring charm of comedy legend Bob Downe. The month is set to showcase a blend of music, comedy, and theatre, with each event offering its unique flavor and excitement. Whether you're a fan of shoegaze music, comedy, or looking for an evening of improvisational theatre, Enmore Theatre has something special lined up for you.
Fans can expect to hear timeless favourites from their stellar discography including from early albums like Souvlakias well as 2023’s everything is alive . Praised by The Guardian as “exquisite songs from the comeback kids of shoegaze”, everything is alive saw Slowdive revive the eternal youth of their sound.
Ten years ago James Flavin debuted his comedy in: "I'm Sorry! A White, Middle-Class, Middle-Aged Man Apologises For Everything".
His career has been a meteoric nothing. This shouldn't be a surprise as Flavin may be the laziest man in showbusiness, with five festival shows across a decade.
It's not every day you meet someone who has a brother for a horse. Not, like, as a metaphor - like, a literal horse. Like, biologically. But what does this have to do with why patience is a virtue that I've never had? And by God, who cares if I'm a baritone?
Leo Amadeus is an actor, writer and musician who will take many secrets to the grave. No further context will be provided on that. With a fresh Advanced Diploma of Performance, he is taking to the Sydney Comedy Festival in an elaborate ruse to secretly acquire some M&Ms (definitely no M&Ms at the show. Definitely). In this collection of comedy songs, you will be let into his world of the fornicating mice in his roof, his hatred of his genetic voice box and the hijinks he gets up to when left to his own devices.
