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.
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.
Harxest Mag describes the event as “a room full of friendly people, an appreciation for art, beautiful models, unreal costumes and a truck load of fun times.”
