Event details from Burst Productions
women possess "feminine wiles," an effortless ability to charm, attract and persuade. But what if it's not instinct at all it's survival.

In Feminine Wiles, Siobhan Larkin explores the exhausting performance of womanhood through stories about dating, sex, body image, mental health and the strange limbo of chasing a creative career while pretending to have your life together. Honest, irreverent and painfully relatable, this debut show asks what happens when you stop performing perfection and start telling the truth instead.

Club Voltaire is one of those North Melbourne spots where comedy feels intimate and unfiltered, with a loyal local crowd and a room that’s just the right size for fresh material to land. Its laid-back, slightly bohemian vibe makes it a favourite for up-and-coming comics testing out new shows, and you’re never too far from the stage. This one’s perfect for anyone who prefers their comedy personal, a bit raw and fiercely relatable-especially if you’re tired of perfect facades. Unlike bigger rooms, you can expect a candid, almost confessional atmosphere, which sets it apart from the more polished routines you’ll find at the city’s larger comedy venues.

Insider tip
Seating is unreserved, so get in early for the best spot near the stage.
