For a month each year, Melbourne becomes a haven for giggles, chuckles and hilarity — and that time for 2025 is now.
You now know the date and who'll be taking to the stage, but which Australian town is playing host is still to be announced.
You've only got a couple more months to visit this Melbourne venue, which is saying goodbye when its current van Gogh exhibition ends.
Exclusive to Bendigo Art Gallery, this showcase features items that have never been seen before in Australia, including clothing, makeup and accessories.
Bring on the choreography and merriment, and break out the waffle parties — after a phenomenal second season, this mindbending hit will return.
If you haven't yet made a date with Australia's largest-ever retrospective dedicated to the Japanese artist at Melbourne's NGV International, you now have more chances to do so.
