20 January – 14 February

This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

Two smiling performers pose closely in bright costume: one wears a towering pink feather headdress and corseted bodice with a pink boas, holding a champagne flute; the other wears a black deep-V dress with large hoop earrings and a sleek black wig.
Crowd with arms raised faces a lit stage at The Sewing Room, where a performer in dark costume stands beneath a glowing “The Sewing Room” sign. Purple and pink lights wash over the packed audience.

Flickery: The Art of Female Pleasure

When award winning producer, Sally Newman and her cabaret mentor, Madam Lush team up on stage, they create Dawn French and Joanna Saunders vibes. An hour of spoken word foreplay, sexual innuendo and flickerings of bursleque. Flickery: the Art of Female Pleasure has toured to Melbourne and Brisbane Fringe Festivals and received ★★★★ ½ star reviews for their sold out season at Perth FRINGE WORLD.

Dip your fingers in for a night of feathers and fantasy with the bedazzled and champagne infused Madam Lush, as she teases you with her tales of tits, clits, and all the other bits of female pleasure. 

Flickery: the art of female pleasure is for all genders and promises to have your quivering with laughter
