Gangsters have a ball
For the fourth year in a row, the Gangsters’ Ball is coming to Melbourne in September.
Modern-day mobsters and molls can step back in time to an era when men wore three-piece suits, fedora hats and silk ties, women wore feathers, furs and pillbox hats, big bands ruled the airwaves and gangsters ruled the streets.
A fully themed night of nonstop entertainment, including sideshow vaudeville performer Lilikoi Kaos (pictured), this year’s headline acts include MC Asher Treleaven, burlesque artist Gypsy Wood, acclaimed acrobatics troupe This Side Up and Australia’s leading female magic and illusion artist, Cath Jamison. It’s at the Forum Theatre on September 17.
