The international smash-hit success Busting Out is once again gracing our shores with its West Australian tour, which is set to kick off in Perth of Friday March 8.
Having reached huge acclaim with their hilarious blend of bosom puppetry, musical cabaret and comedy, the ladies are hitting the West Coast to wow and please those previously not reached.
The ladies will be visiting Perth, Mandurah, Margaret River, Bunbury and Albany. Cast member Bev Killick spoke to OUTinPerth about how excited the crew are to get to the smaller towns – ‘I love Western Australia I always have done! It’s just such a great bunch of people, especially in the rural areas it’s that case of – we’re coming to you! You don’t have to travel five hours!
‘We’ve been to Margaret River before we had three days off on tour and we ended up hiring a couple of cottages so we just had three days kicking back. It’ll be nice to be there performing as well!’
Killick spoke of the show’s success, pleasing critics and audiences in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and NZ.
‘I still go WOW! Everywhere I go it’s like everyone’s heard of it. Every second person has seen it!’
If you happen to be someone who hasn’t heard of the show, the comedian explains it as ‘a liberating experience for all, you pretty much get to sick back and watch two women feel liberated on stage and talk about breasts in a very funny way’.
Although initially giving an absolute ‘no’ when asked if the show was feminist, Killick eventually admitted the show had a feminist undercurrent, ‘I suppose it’s feminist fundamentally but it’s not forced down your throat. It’s kind of the ideology where we are taking our tops off and we’re not ashamed of our bodies’.
With the showing having previously toured the country four or five times, Killick explained the audience to be 80-90% female. The show also promises a few extra surprises for the WA crowd this coming tour.
