Don’t let the title fool you – there’s no smut here. Just an hour of intimate cabaret from one of our brightest local talents.

With a voice as velvety as butter and a passion for song that fuels their powerful delivery, Jamie Moffatt is a talent to behold.

There are nine reasons Moffatt feels they’ve missed out on scoring their dream role – what’s between their legs is the greatest source of rejection, given “the best songs are written for women”.

Carrying the audience through the journey of an artist longing for their big break through musical hits like Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Maybe This Time, and Send in The Clowns, Moffatt’s intimate peek behind the curtain invites you into the world of someone who’s truly battled for their art.

While the performance had a slightly stiff start (no pun intended), as they regaled the audience with tales of disastrous tours, it gave insight into a journey of self-discovery and eventual peace with who they are, the audience is left feeling warm and delighted.
