The Travelling Sisters

Overview

When you call yourselves The Travelling Sisters, you'd better live up to the name. Don't worry, these ones do. The trio of ladies have played Edinburgh, London, Berlin, Prague, Bedford, Glastonbury, Bath, Hong Kong, Woodford, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne — where they were shortlisted for best newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. On their behalf: phew.

In Brisbane for the Anywhere Theatre Festival, they're stopping by from their adventures absolutely everywhere around the globe for six nights of showing Queensland just what they do best. On May 4 to 6, and then again on May 18 to 19 and 21, they'll unfurl an array of characters, physical comedy and songs. And talk about their jet-setting, obviously.

When they lived in London, they played 150 gigs in a year. They went to Albania for Halloween last year, and had to wear their potato costumes from their show even when they weren't performing. They've been chased by stray dogs. We're sure they've done much, much more. Yep, they have comic tales to sing about and tell.
