Dame meets philanderer

Cabaret diva Carita Farrer Spencer doubles the fun at Drysdale, playing two genders in one night as Larry Paradiseo and the Fabulous Dame Farrar.

The mother-of-two and long-time singer brings her two alter-egos (and herself) to the Potato Shed next Friday for this crazy double act.

Settle in for act one as theatrical cyclone Dame Farrar takes the stage.

Celebrate the glory and disaster of this talented Diva and disgraceful, loveable lush.

The dame is a show pony and a half, who, fuelled by her penchant for gin Martinis, literally rolls out her favourite songs and mostly unreliable anecdotes until she has nothing left to give.

Act two is all about Larry Paradiseo. A showbiz god, he has more moves than Mick Jagger and a way with the ladies that makes Tom Jones look a little limp.

Women love him. Men want to be him. Larry is the new black. This master of entertainment has a big voice, big presence and an even bigger repertoire.

Promoters described the play as “a one-woman show on steroids” and it hit the funny bone of critics too.

“Plenty of laughs,” said a reviewer from Stage Whispers.

“The show is Farrabulous! Don’t miss it!”

“Larry Paradiseo makes Barry Humphries’ Sir Les Patterson seem like the president of the Melbourne Club,” said Crikey’s theatre critic.

Larry and the Dame comes to The Potato Shed for one show only at 8pm, 12 October.
