John Rowe is now on at an earlier time!
Coming out? Want the world to know? Got to let it show? The John Rowe Show will be encouraging audiences to reveal their guilty pleasures.
The Australian TV personality and his band are on at the Fringe with a brand new stage version of his much-loved chat show.
And at the heart of it all will be the audience and their secrets – all revealed to the tune of Donna Summer’s classic hit.
John himself admits to having a powerful inner grandma, something he realised when he developed the urge to collect porcelain teacups.
He said: “I’m really looking forward to hearing people’s ‘coming out’ stories – whether you’re a trucker with a secret love of Barry Manilow or a vegan who sneaks the occasional sausage.”
No two nights of The John Rowe Show are ever the same and he’ll also have showbiz mates dropping in for a chat, a cuppa and a donut on the sofa.
Among those popping up at the Fringe will be former Van Morrison backing singer turned successful solo recording artist Brian Kennedy, top comedy magician Mandy Muden, impressionist Naomi McDonald and fellow Aussies the drag queen Dolly Diamond and the charismatic Tap Pack song and dance crew.
All this will be packed in alongside groovy live tunes, sing-alongs, daggy dancing, daft chat, surprises and silliness – including a lesson from John’s favourite 70s Guide to Disco Dancing book, and top tips from the “John Rowe School of Overacting”.
