Caberet duo returns to the Shed

If you are a fan of 1960s music and Christmas carols then you will be treated to a show and a half by Melissa Langton and Mark Jones.

The married cabaret couple are bringing their show to the Potato Shed having played at the venue once before last year.

Melissa and Mark have won numerous awards including the prestigious Green Room Award for Best Cabaret

Artist and Best Cabaret.

They have performed to great acclaim throughout Europe and the home of cabaret, New York.

“Mark and I love doing harmonies and the 60s songs tend to lend themselves to our audience,” Melissa says.

“It’s always fun. Mark and I have really fun banter on stage.

“We chat to the audience a lot, they don’t just sit and observe, they get to take part in it.”

Melissa says their first visit to the Potato Shed was a positive experience.

“We had the best fun ever – the audience were so into it,” she says.

“I think they were just keen to get out and get back to the theatre.

“They all said ‘come back’ and I’m hoping the people who came will bring back all their friends. It’s a really nice little venue.”

Audience members are asked to brush up on their 1960s music knowledge. Mark will conduct a quiz that can earn concertgoers some decent prizes.

But mostly the songs of the 1960s and Christmas carols will fill most of the agenda.

“It’s just a chance to sing some Christmas songs because who doesn’t love singing Christmas songs?” Melissa says.

“You can’t have Christmas without having a sing along. I love singalongs and they always go down really well.”

The show is on Tuesday November 29 at 10.30am at the Potato Shed, Drysdale. All tickets ($17) include morning tea. Book at potatoshed.com.au
