Kinngston Arts is bringing the Funny Mummies Cabaret Spectacular to Kingston City Hall on Saturday 14 September, from award-winning comedian and mum of six Jenny Wynter, alongside Queenie van de Zandt and her alter-ago Jan van de Stool for a show that blends music and comedy to poke fun at parenthood.
Sharing their epic mothering fails and domestic dramas, Jenny and Jan promise an evening of laughter and song. The show aims to improve mental health by making fun of the most relatable and inevitable parts of parenthood.
Ahead of the performance at Kingston City Hall at 7:30pm, Jenny will lead the Funny Mummies Writing Workshop at 2pm, teaming up with professional comedians to create a supportive space for aspiring writers to get advice on joke structure, writing techniques, and generating material.
Jenny Wynter is a Brisbane-based writer, cabaret performer and comedian with over a decade of experience. Her work is characterised by her improvisational and musical stylings and combinations of both, with her trademark being comedy songs made up on the spot with audience input.
Queenie van de Zandt moves through the world entertaining, educating and serenading the people she meets. She has the unique ability in all her work to make people feel deeply, to awaken laughter, empathy and awareness in equal measure. However, Queenie is still probably best known for her extensive work in musical theatre and cabaret.
Queenie’s alter-ego, Jan van de Stool, the madcap International Musical Therapist gathered a national cult following, when she appeared on Australia’s Got Talent in early 2016. Her one-woman show I GET THE MUSIC IN YOU an evening with Jan van de Stool which she co-wrote with Tony Taylor, performed to packed houses in Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide. Jan van de Stool has been seen by over 1 million Australians.
