“Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice”
nice words Robert Frost, thanks.
And yes, Lux St Sin will be both your desire and destruction! As Fire & Ice you may just perish twice…
but what a way to go!
Mark the date, Sunday May 26, come sketch with us. Don’t go hot and cold on us, commit to drawing, babes and fun – see you there!
You all remember Bijou’s hilarious “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” routine last year right? Who could forget, art monkeys getting sent all over the place and love letters being posted back to The Toff in Town (thanks Damien!)….
Well, Bijou is in full form and bringing you a brand new act!
Not sure how she got herself in this situation, the innocent Bijou wonders if her prayers have been answered..even the purest of the pure can sometimes get into trouble deep. So papa don’t preach because you always knew I ain’t no virgin!

Have you seen all the wonderful sessions and Sketchy action that’s been happening in 2013?
If you’ve been with us you’ll know how jam packed we’ve been with a variety of exceptional personalities and performers across 2 very special locations.
2 sessions down at The Famous Spiegeltent with Polish based acrobat duo The Caesar Twins, and just last week a moving, warm fuzzy session with half of the incredible quartet of acrobats that is CASUS.
We launched our 2013 season at our home THE TOFF IN TOWN with YOU AM I frontman, Tim Rogers. For those that missed it… you’re loss. A session that will never be matched – intimate, raw, visceral, private.
If you were then it’s a memory to keep and hopefully your renderings of Tim captured the man whilst he waxed poetic on the life of a rock star.
This Saturday we return to The Famous Spiegeltentwith the stars of Knee Deep – CASUS, circus from the heart, astonishing skills and exquisite beauty from four performers at the top of their game.
Casusbring the humanity into circus through a breathtaking and fragile display of skills staged at The Famous Spiegeltent.
Casus is Australia’s hottest new circus company featuring artists who have performed with CIRCA, Polytoxic, Legs on the Wall and Briefs Collective. Their debut work Knee Deep is an inventive blend of circus and modern media using traditional and contemporary circus techniques. Through this work, the five performers explore the limitations of strength and fragility, journeying Knee Deep through moments of raw discovery, fleeting relationships and unexpected bonds. Casus gives new purpose and meaning to objects that are seemingly inanimate.
Built in 1920 The Famous Spiegeltent magic mirrors have reflected thousands of images of artists, audiences and exotic gatherings. She is a star in her own right, hosting parties, concerts, clubs and a myriad of stunning performances, launching the careers of countless artists traveling the world.

To kick off Dr Sketchy’s 2013 season at The Toff in Town is rock’n’roll cabaret man, Tim Rogers. Best known as the frontman of Australian rock band You Am I, Rogers continues to perform as a solo artist around the country showcasing his prolific output, in recent years dedicating time to cabaret, movies and theatre.
In this intimate and rare performance, Tim will be taking center stage as our audience gets up close and personal with their medium of choice.
