Bondi Feast
Think there's no reason to go to the beach now the chill of winter's slithered across Sydney? You'll find it's even better in the off-season when the Tamarama Rock Surfers invite you into their Bondi Feast, where you can snuggle up with a mulled wine, a little something off the back of the Jafe Jaffles food truck, and a deeply warming program of comedy, music, theatre, and storytelling.
Overview
Think there's no reason to go to the beach now the chill of winter's slithered across Sydney? You'll find it's even better in the off-season when the Tamarama Rock Surfers, programmers of the Bondi Pavilion and Old Fitz theatres, invite you into their Bondi Feast, where you can snuggle up with a mulled wine and a deeply warming program of comedy, music, theatre, and storytelling.
Each night serves up entree, mains, and dessert, with sustenance coming from some of Sydney's freshest writers and theatre-makers — including Caleb Lewis, Suzie Miller, Toby Schmitz, Sam Atwell, Duncan Graham, Vanessa Bates, Jono Burns, Tim Spencer, Jessica Tuckwell, Jessica Bellamy, Cait Harris, John Kachoyan, Kate Gaul, Scarlet McGlynn, and Paige Rattray — who have produced bite-sized pieces just for the festival.
The sweet finish is in the form of music and comedy from the likes of Benny Davis (Axis of Awesome), DJ Evan Lock's Beach Boys mash-up, and Swimwear (featuring Tim Derricourt of Dappled Cities). Alternatively, take a more degustation-like approach during Story Club, Erotic Fanfiction, the Comedy Banquet and the Cut 'n' Paste Beach Special.
Bondi Feast is an eclectic fortnight of fun and wonder. Tuck into the dramatic treats in store, and when your appetites turn from the cerebral to the physical, grab that mulled wine and a gourmet toastie from the Jafe Jaffles food truck, and thumb your nose at winter from the beautiful Bondi Pavilion Theatre balcony.
