Back in her hometown, a woman stands in the ‘fifteen items or less’ line at the local Woolies. There, an old (now-hot) school friend, Kieran, mistakes her as Mia. And she doesn’t correct him. The thing is, Mia is her identical twin who recently died, leaving behind a son, Lucas. Everyone has a 20-something crisis. Hers is a choice between staying in Melbourne with an ambitious girlfriend, becoming the legal guardian of a five-year-old, or something entirely different… If Kieran can’t tell the difference, does it really matter? At the end of the day, where does she end and Mia begin? Draw Two, is a sharp, poignant and funny monologue about mistaken identities, Neapolitan ice cream, sunburnt shoulders, sharks in bathtubs and beating little kids at Uno. It’s also about how we come to terms with loss and sudden motherhood, and what it truly takes to care. Information Source: Theatre Works | eventbrite

In a society where winners are grinners and losers can please themselves, how can a born cynic find their place in the world? They go into showbiz. Drawn from her dodgy acting career touring outback towns via many a school hall, Cloudia and the Silver Linings present a selection of toe-tapping tunes and hanky-wringing ballads that celebrate human foibles and shed a light on the not-so-bright side of life. With a grim optimism in the face of doom, actor/songwriter Linda Stainton and her band of three demonstrate that while a positive attitude might win you friends and influence, true lasting joy comes from expecting the worst. Because what can be more deeply satisfying than being able to say, ‘I told you so?’ FAQs What time should I get there? At least 30 minutes before the show. Our performances start bang on time and it takes a hot second to welcome you into the building. Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? The Butterfly Club is a licensed venue. Accordingly, patrons under 18 are only allowed on premises in the company of a parent or legal guardian. What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event? We strongly encourage using public transport. The Butterfly Club is a short stroll from Flinders Street station and Melbourne Central, and an even shorter stroll from any tram that travels through Swanston or Collins Streets (get off at Town Hall). How can I contact the venue with any questions? Please call The Butterfly Club on 03 9663 8107 or reply to your email confirmation. What's the refund policy? All sales are final: exceptions are made in extraordinary circumstances at the Club's sole discretion. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No. Our team have a record of all attendees updated in real time and will be able to let you in whether you bring a printed copy of your ticket or not. Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends? Yes. It happens all the time. It's totally fine. Information Source: The Butterfly Club | eventbrite

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19TH 2025 SINGING BIRD STUDIOS FRANKSTON GRINDHEAD PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS: Gutalax Australian Tour 2025 Gutalax. This Czech band brings a unique and irreverent approach to grindcore and goregrind, blending humor and high energy into their distinctive sound. Known for their unapologetically crude, satirical lyrics about fecal matter, Gutalax tackles the absurd and often vulgar in a way that’s as humorous as it is outrageous. Behind the humor, Gutalax showcases impressive technical skill, with music that’s both fast-paced and masterfully chaotic, along with their frontman Martin Matoušek’s unique ‘pig-like’ vocals they set themselves apart from the grindcore scene. Their live performances are nothing short of unforgettable, filled with colorful costumes, absurd props, and relentless energy, making every show a wild escape from the ordinary. This mix of technical precision and boundary-pushing humor has gained them an international fan base that appreciates both the rebellion and the community that Gutalax inspires. For those open to a taste of the unconventional, a Gutalax show is an experience not to be missed. Information Source: Stu Anderson 0408568438 | eventbrite

A skilled farm dog can accomplish complex tasks in minutes—tasks that would take a human hours. More than just a worker, they are loyal companions who genuinely enjoy their work. Plus, they are far more affordable to employ than human workers. Raising a great farm dog isn’t just about natural ability—it also requires proper training. That’s where Gary White and his internationally renowned Working Dog School come in. Since 1999, Gary has been traveling across Australia and around the world, holding clinics to share his expertise in working dogs with farmers. His work has taken him to the Americas, Europe, and Britain, and he’s always in high demand. Gary’s connection to working dog training runs deep. Born and raised in Nyngan, Gary grew up surrounded by dogs. His father established White’s Kelpie Stud nearly 60 years ago and was one of the founding members of the Working Kelpie Council. “Dad always managed properties and had working dogs to assist him. On the farms, he worked alone, and the dogs were like his right-hand men,” Gary explains. “When I was a kid, Nyngan was remote, with no television or other entertainment, so I spent all my time outside, and the farm dogs were my constant companions. I had a very outdoor childhood, and the dogs were integral to it. Much of what I know about working dogs, I learned from my father.” Gary’s early exposure to working dogs came when he was just a child. “I started working with dogs very young,” he recalls. “I loved helping my dad with cattle and sheep. He would leave me with the sheep, accompanied by one or two of his older trained dogs. Working with and training dogs is in my blood.” After building a local reputation for training dogs, Gary was invited to the US to lead specialised clinics. These clinics, typically held on farms, focus on helping dog owners work with their dogs' natural instincts. The first US clinics were so successful that Gary began receiving invitations to travel to other countries as well. “No matter where I am in the world, I train dogs the same way. The method doesn’t change. Even though dogs may be used differently abroad—like in the US, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, or Germany—the basics remain the same,” Gary says. “While they might not be working with the large numbers of livestock we manage in Australia, the core principles of training are universal.” Join Gary for this FULL DAY workshop: 9:00am - Arrival 9:30am - Welcome and Introduction 10:30am - Morning Tea (supplied) 11:00am - Practical Session 1 12:30pm - Lunch (supplied) 1:30pm - Practical Session 2 3:00pm - Afternoon Tea (supplied) 3:15pm - PracticalSession 3 4:30pm - Close This workshop will be open for up to 12 participants and their working dog, and as many spectators that are keen to come and watch on.

Do you have a property that might be suitable for to hold this event? We're looking for a property that can supply a flat area, a 12 panel arena and 12 sheep!
