Mike McLeish steps back into the spotlight for a solo cabaret that’s as eccentric as it is delightful. Known for his standout performances in Keating! The Musical, Shane Warne the Musical, and Utopia, McLeish takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through the highs and lows of showbiz and life, blending satirical wit, heartfelt poignancy, and quirky musical storytelling.From deadpan monologues and razor-sharp skits to comic songs about zombie video games and middle-aged romance, this charming and chaotic cabaret is a heist on the theatre world and a love letter to its absurdity. Backed by acoustic guitar, piano, and even a whistling solo, McLeish’s folk tenor vocals bring both playfulness and sensitivity to this rare, self-penned performance.
